Loop 337 Expansion: New Mainlanes Open & Traffic Switch

Tomorrow (Tuesday, April 9) morning after rush  hour, crews will open the new two southbound lanes on Loop 337 to drivers for roughly a one-mile stretch running from River Road to SH 46.

Once these have opened for this long-term traffic switch, crews will begin work on the existing lanes, with one northbound lane remaining open to traffic (see maps below for to get a better visual sense).

To access New Braunfels High School, southbound traffic will have a signalized intersection to make a left turn into the school entrance.

All traffic exiting New Braunfels High School must turn right onto northbound Loop 337. To head southbound, drivers will use the new signalized U-turn near Oakwood Baptist Church.

To access Oakwood Baptist Church, northbound traffic will use a new signalized U-turn north of the church to head southbound on Loop 337.

All traffic exiting Oakwood Baptist Church must turn right onto southbound Loop 337. To head northbound, drivers will use the new signalized U-turn near New Braunfels High School.

Road signs have been placed to direct drivers through the new roadway configuration.

We ask the traveling public to adhere to construction signage and remain aware when traveling through the work zone.

As always, weather may impact the timing of these closures. We appreciate your patience and understanding as crews work to improve safety and mobility in the area.

Construction for the Loop 337 Expansion project began in November 2017 and is anticipated to be completed in late 2021.

The construction project is about six miles long, from I-35 to Hillcrest Drive, and includes an upgrade to a 4-lane divided roadway with pedestrian accommodations and new bridges in various locations.
