Beam Me Up: Overpass Work On I-10 East Project Prompts FM 1516 Closure

Continued work on a new overpass/bridge on the I-10 expansion project in Far East San Antonio will require overnight closures of FM 1516 Tuesday (November 19) through early Thursday morning (November 21).

Our contractor on this project, Webber, will be installing large beams on the I-10 overpass at FM 1516. 

This work will require nightly closures of the FM 1516 intersection underneath the I-10 mainlanes from 9 p.m. to 5 a.m. Tuesday, November 19 through Thursday, November 21.

Please see the adjacent map and details on detour routes during this closure:

• Southbound through traffic on FM 1516 will be diverted to the westbound frontage road and turn around at Foster Road, then take the eastbound frontage road back to FM 1516.
• Northbound through traffic on FM 1516 will be diverted to the eastbound frontage road and turn around at Loop 1604, then take the westbound frontage road back to FM 1516. 

Police officers will be directing traffic on the frontage roads at the FM 1516 intersections but delays are still possible. Please consider using alternative routes during this time, if possible.

As always, we appreciate everyone’s patience and understanding as we continue making progress s on the I-10 expansion project in Far East San Antonio, which goes from I-410 to Loop 1604.
