Game-day road closures (GO SPURS GO!)

The intent was to get this published about two hours ago ... so much for that.

Here's a look at hiccups drivers may experience tonight in their drive to/from the game:

I-10
First of all, keep in mind we have some active construction zones on I-10 between Loop 1604 and Wurzbach Road. For east-bound traffic, there's a significant traffic switch going on out there. The pavement markings show the right lane as an "exit only" lane approaching Huebner - it functions as a detoured main lane. So, though it looks like the highway necks down to just two lanes, stay in that right lane if that's where you're at when you drive through there. It's a great spot that won't have to sit through much of the slow-down at those two lanes that are left untouched.

On the way home ... we'll have at least one (probably two) lanes closed off at a couple of points between Huebner Road and UTSA Boulevard. Please drive slow through this area and be attentive - we don't want to be hit by someone who's celebrated a little too hard tonight.

I-35
We shouldn't have much in your way on your way to the game. However, be mindful of us on your way home. We'll be working between SW Military Drive and Rittiman Road, marking the pavement (painting stripes, etc.). Please let us do that safely! Expect alternating lane closures. Of course, if the rain continues, we probably won't be doing this at all tonight (hard to paint wet pavement!).

Beyond Loop 1604, expect our crews to have two left lanes closed while we move around some barrier between Loop 1604 and Olympia Parkway. It's going to make things back up a little, but you should be able to get through just fine.
