Switching Things Up: Next Milestone On Loop 337 Project in New Braunfels

Following rush hour tomorrow (Saturday, Dec. 21) morning, the newly constructed southbound Loop 337 lanes between New Braunfels High School (north of the SH 46 overpass) and just south of Oak Run Parkway will open to drivers as the latest in a series of scheduled traffic switches on the Loop 337 Expansion Project.

All southbound traffic will be permanently shifted to the new lanes. Once this section has opened, crews will begin work on existing lanes, with one northbound lane remaining open to traffic.

Following the traffic switch, drivers turning from Oak Run Parkway will only be able to head southbound on Loop 337. Drivers wishing to head north on Loop 337 will need to take southbound Loop 337 and turn around at Stone Crossing.

This section of southbound Loop 337 is the last to open as part of this project. Crews will continue working on sections of northbound Loop 337 and making additional improvements in future phases of this project.

Message signs are in place to inform drivers of this change and additional signage will be placed to help guide drivers safely along the roadway.

We ask the traveling public to follow construction signage and remain alert when traveling through the work zone. 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 estimated 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.
