SAN ANTONIO — Drivers should be aware of another major road closure happening this weekend.
I-10 will be closed at the Loop 1604 interchange starting Friday at 9 p.m. and will not lift until Monday at 5 a.m. as part of the Loop 1604 North Expansion project.
Eastbound and westbound lanes of I-10 will be closed at the Loop 1604 interchange due to flyover construction. The eastbound mainlines will only be closed Friday night. Loop 1604 will remain open from 5 a.m. Saturday through Monday at 5 a.m., according to TxDOT.
This closure affects all of the following areas:
- I-10 eastbound and westbound mainlanes and collector distributor at Loop 1604
- I-10 eastbound exit ramp south of La Cantera Parkway
- I-10 westbound to Loop 1604 eastbound exit ramp
- I-10 eastbound frontage road north of Loop 1604
- Loop 1604 eastbound and westbound frontage road at I-10
- Loop 1604 eastbound mainlanes at I-10 (Friday night only)
- All four cloverleaf ramps
According to TxDOT, the closure will give crews time to install steel beams and continue construction of the flyover ramps at the interchange. 76% of the steel beam work has been completed with 115 beams in place and the flyover ramp is scheduled to open by the end of the year which will connect drivers from eastbound Loop 1604 to westbound I-10.
TXDOT officials say major weekend closures due to construction will not be scheduled between Thanksgiving through the end of the year. But, these construction schedules are subject to change and are weather permitting.
