SAN ANTONIO, TX — Construction officially began today at the intersection of Culebra Road and Van Ness Avenue, where crews are installing a new traffic signal, crosswalks, and extending the center median to enhance safety for both drivers and pedestrians.

The project aims to improve traffic flow and reduce collision risks at one of the area’s busy intersections. The addition of new crosswalks and signalized controls will also make it safer and easier for pedestrians to navigate the area.

While construction is underway, motorists can expect occasional delays due to lane adjustments or temporary closures. City officials are reminding residents that all nearby businesses remain open and accessible throughout the duration of the project.

Drivers are encouraged to plan for extra travel time, stay alert for construction workers, and follow all posted signage.

The improvements are part of the City of San Antonio’s ongoing commitment to strengthening roadway infrastructure and creating safer streets for everyone.
