Main Street bridge in Boerne closed overnight this week

Tuesday and Wednesday nights, Relmco Construction will close the Main Street bridge over Cibolo Creek in Boerne so crews can place a final layer of asphalt on the bridge. This paving work will be followed with painters to mark the new lines on the roadway.

The work marks what should be the end of a project to widen the bridge that began January 2013.

The bridge closure will be complete, requiring traffic to use River Road, Esser Road and East Blanco Road as a detour. Local residents may recognize the detour as the same route used when Main Street closes for parades.

Each night, the closure will begin at 9 p.m. and crews will open the bridge in time for the morning commute.
