San Antonio Alert: Planned Closures on Loop 1604 and I-10 to Affect Traffic FlowSource: TxDOT

The ongoing construction projects on Loop 1604 and the I-10 interchange continue to cause disruptions for San Antonio drivers, with nightly and weekend closures affecting major roadways. FOX San Antonio reports that the eastbound main lanes of Loop 1604 from Vance Jackson Road to Lockhill Selma Road will be closed every night from 9 p.m. to 5 a.m., starting Monday, June 17, through Friday, June 21. Concurrently, closures will affect the I-10 westbound main lane exit ramp to Loop 1604 eastbound and the I-10 Eastbound cloverleaf exit to Loop 1604 eastbound during the same hours.

While the Loop 1604 expansion project aims to improve traffic flow and infrastructure in the long term, it presently poses significant inconvenience for those accustomed to traversing these roadways. TxDOT has confirmed that these closures are the minimal necessary for the construction work to progress, and they have enlisted local law enforcement assistance in managing traffic during the disruptions. Motorists are encouraged by TxDOT to plan their routes accordingly and anticipate delays, as these construction activities are critical to the overall enhancement of San Antonio's vehicular infrastructure.

The work is part of the larger Loop 1604 North Expansion Project, which has been a source of ongoing traffic realignments in the area. With the July 4 holiday approaching, TxDOT assures that no major construction closures will be scheduled during that week, providing a brief reprieve for local drivers. Meanwhile, for the current closures, TxDOT advises motorists to stay informed by following all posted detour signage and exercising patience through the affected areas.
