Weather permitting, bridge crews widening the Main Street bridge over Cibolo Creek will close the bridge to set support beams the night of Tuesday, June 25.
The closure will be complete, requiring traffic to use alternate routes to reach their destinations. The marked detour should be familiar to locals – it’s the detour route used for parades that shut down Main Street – and will follow River Road, Esser Road and Blanco Road.
Crews will begin closing lanes at 9 p.m. June 25 and have the bridge reopened by 6 a.m. June 26. Right now project personnel think they can finish the work in a single night. If inclement weather prevents the work, new dates and times will be announced.
The closure will allow bridge-builders to move a large crane onto the bridge to set concrete beams in place. These beams will support the expanded portion of the bridge. Construction on the bridge is scheduled to wrap up later this year.
