Broadway in San Antonio is getting a Hollywood makeover as MTV Entertainment Studios, 101 Studios, and Paramount+ shoot scenes for the series "1923." A stretch of Broadway, from E. Pecan St. to E. Houston St., will have road closures to have cars and commuters to navigate around detours, according to a press release from the City of San Antonio’s Department of Arts & Culture.
Expect a break from September 6 to 15, with roads and sidewalks open, though street parking will be restricted on Broadway between E. Pecan St. and E. Travis St. Starting September 16, the Broadway transforms into a no-drive zone, with closures pinging onto Peacock Alley and E. Travis St.; anticipate the juggle as northbound traffic on Broadway between E. Pecan St. and 3rd St. remains an option.
On September 19 morning, filming intends to close the sidewalks on Broadway between E. Pecan St. and E. Houston St., though they promise to reopen by afternoon, with the rest of the vehicular restrictions remaining firmly buckled in; businesses on these routes are having been in the conversation by the production team to navigate around and are preparing for the minor disruptions.
Moving past the interruptions, normalcy is set to resume on September 20, with sidewalks reopening, but Broadway will still face the same old restrictions between E. Pecan St. and E. Houston St., Peacock Alley, and E. Travis St, as they remain off-limits to vehicles until the final wrap, which as the city's site guarantees, should come by September 27, at the latest, when the film crew takes their final bow and departs, releasing Broadway back to its natural state.
After the filming wraps up, normalcy will return on September 20, with sidewalks reopening. However, Broadway between E. Pecan St. and E. Houston St., Peacock Alley, and E. Travis St. will remain closed to vehicles until September 27. By then, the film crew will have finished, and Broadway will return to its usual flow.
San Antonio's city website and their official X account stand as the beacons of updated info on these closures; as for the "1923" production specifics, 101 Studios’ Chief Communications Officer, Dani Weinstein, is the designated go-to, gatekeeping such details behind an email wall at [email protected].
