Heads up, New Braunfels drivers: you're going to need to reroute your morning commute next Friday. In an announcement that's bound to cause a little stir in local travel plans, the City of New Braunfels has stated that Landa Park Drive will be off-limits for a stretch on September 5. According to the City of New Braunfels official notice, from 6 a.m. to 2 p.m., the road will be closed from Landa Street to Elizabeth Avenue for tree and sidewalk maintenance.
Now, while September mornings in Texas are usually more about iced coffee than roadblocks, anyone planning to use the popular route should definitely look to alter their path. The city seems to be reminding folks pretty firmly to plan ahead and find alternate routes to avoid getting stuck. To briefly make a small detour inconvenient – like the one you’ll be taking – city workers will need to fully close this section for the maintenance work.
For those already dreading the detour, just remember this is all part of city upkeep—these are the little things that keep New Braunfels charming and functional. The city hasn't provided information on whether local buses and school routes will be affected, but it's safe to assume some bus schedules might need to temporarily swerve from the norm. For all you daily commuters, couriers, and school-run parents out there, now's the time to start planning to avoid getting snagged in what's sure to be a slightly more congested Friday morning.
