BEXAR COUNTY, Texas — As part of the Loop 1604 North Expansion Project, TxDOT announced major closures along Loop 1604 in north Bexar County.
From 9 p.m. Friday to 5 a.m. Monday, Loop 1604 will be closed from La Cantera Parkway to Stone Oak Parkway, including the Interstate 10 Interchange. That's a distance of about eight miles for one of the most-used corridors in the city.
Construction work will shut down all eastbound and westbound main lanes from La Cantera to Stone Oak Parkway; eastbound and westbound main lanes through the Loop 1604 Interchange; eastbound and westbound frontage roads through the interchange; and all four cloverleafs at the Loop 1604/Interstate 10 Interchange.
The reason for the closures: Crews will be installing steel beams for the construction of flyover ramps.
A portion of the closure, Vance Jackson Road to Stone Oak Parkway, is expected to open back up by the end of Saturday.
TxDOT released detour information to safely avoid these closures:
