This weekend, the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) is scheduled to perform major closures in west San Antonio on I-410 and SH 151. 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 all I-410 mainlanes from Marbach Rd. to Military Dr.
Full closure of SH 151 eastbound frontage road from I-410 to Ingram
Rd.
When: Friday, October 2 at 8 p.m. to Monday, October 5 at 5 a.m.
Scheduled Work: Continued construction of flyover ramps and installation of steel beams
During the
closure of I-410, drivers traveling northbound will be detoured to the frontage
roads before the Marbach Road intersection and will be allowed to re-enter the
mainlanes after the Military Drive intersection. Drivers traveling southbound
on I-410 will be detoured to the frontage roads before Military Drive and will
be allowed to re-enter the mainlanes after the Marbach Road intersection. Drivers
traveling on the eastbound SH 151 frontage road will be detoured to the peripheral

This weekend’s
closures will allow crews to install steel beams for flyover ramps at the I-410
and SH 151 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.
