The Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) is ramping up
construction on Segment 1 of the Loop 1604 Expansion Project from SH 16 (Bandera Rd.) to I-10 in northwest Bexar County. This week,
crews will begin preparation work for the start of major construction
activities in early June 2021.
Over the next few weeks, drivers will
experience minimal impact to traffic flow as lane shifts are implemented. Currently
scheduled lane closures for Segment 1 are listed below.
Monday, May 10 to
Friday, May 21
Weekday Nights 9PM to 5AM
- Eastbound Loop
1604 entrance ramp to La Cantera Parkway
- DETOUR: La Cantera
Parkway traffic will continue on eastbound frontage road and enter Loop
1604 at next entrance ramp.
- Eastbound Loop
1604 exit ramp to Vance Jackson
- DETOUR:
Traffic will be directed to exit at La Cantera Parkway, merge to the
frontage road, and travel through the La Cantera Parkway intersection.
*Note: Closures are scheduled from 9PM
Sunday to 5AM Friday, with no weekend closures. Construction is subject to
change, due to weather and other variables.
These closures will allow crews to
arrange construction work zones with barrier placements and lane re-striping
operations in preparation for major construction activities planned for the expansion
project.
The Loop 1604 Expansion Project
involves several non-toll transportation improvements, from SH 16 to I-35, that are designed to increase mobility, reduce
congestion and enhance safety along the highly-traveled corridor. Segment 1 of
the Loop 1604 Expansion Project has a total estimated cost of $148 million.
Williams Brothers Construction Company, Inc. was awarded the project in April
2021.
