San Antonio, TX (April 30, 2024) – The Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) has announced a major full weekend closure as part of the ongoing Loop 1604 North Expansion Project. The closure will affect various lanes and ramps at the I-10 interchange, aiming to facilitate bridge construction and bent cap replacement.

Starting at 9 p.m. on Friday, May 3, 2024, and lasting until 5 a.m. on Monday, May 6, 2024, weather permitting, the following closures will be in effect:

– Loop 1604 Westbound (WB) Mainlanes at the I-10 interchange
– Loop 1604 Eastbound (EB) Mainlanes, Collector-Distributor, and Frontage Road at the I-10 interchange
– I-10 Westbound (WB) Mainlanes and Collector-Distributor at the Loop 1604 interchange
– Cloverleafs from I-10 WB to Loop 1604 WB, Loop 1604 EB to I-10 WB, and I-10 EB to Loop 1604 EB

These closures are vital for the progression of the Loop 1604 North Expansion Project and are necessary for the anticipated construction work. However, all closures are subject to change and modification as needed.
