The Texas
Department of Transportation (TxDOT) is scheduled to perform major closures in
west San Antonio on SH 151 this weekend. The closures are expected to greatly
impact traffic flow and drivers are encouraged to avoid the area. Details on
the specific closures are listed below.
What: Full closure of SH 151 mainlanes
from just west of I-410 to just east of I-410
Full closure of SH 151 eastbound to westbound turnaround
When: Friday, October 16 at 9
p.m. to Monday, October 19 at 5 a.m.
Scheduled Work:
Continued construction of flyover
ramps and installation of steel beams
During the
closure of SH 151, drivers traveling westbound will be detoured to the frontage
roads at the I-410 exit, travel through the intersection and re-enter the
mainlanes before Ingram Road. Drivers traveling eastbound on SH 151 will be
detoured to the frontage roads at Cable Ranch Road, travel through I-410
intersection and re-enter the mainlanes before W. Military Dr. The eastbound SH
151 flyover ramp to northbound I-410 will remain open to traffic during the
weekend closure.
This weekend’s
closures will allow crews to install steel beams for flyover ramps at the SH
151 and I-410 interchange as part of scheduled work in phase one of the I-410 Southwest project. This project involves several improvements to improve
mobility and enhance safety along a 14.9 mile stretch of I-410 from SH 16 to
Ingram Rd.
Phase one of
the I-410 Southwest project has a total estimated cost of $100 million.
Construction began in 2019 and is scheduled to be completed by Summer 2022.
Williams Brother’s Construction is the contractor on the project.
