SAN ANTONIO — Authorities say they have cleared Loop 410 near Highway 90 in both directions, opening the lanes back up to west-San Antonio traffic after a police situation caused backup all morning.
San Antonio Police Department officials provided the update at 4 p.m., saying traffic is cleared to resume use of the major corridor.
The incident began around 9 p.m. Wednesday before continuing well into Thursday afternoon, causing a major slowdown of Christmas week travel and forcing commuters onto frontage roads. Eight million Texans are expected to be hitting the road ahead of the holiday.
