Beginning
Friday, August 11 at 8 p.m., workers will close all east and westbound lanes of
I-10 and all northbound lanes of I-410. The work will occur throughout the
weekend and into early Monday morning, August 14. The interchange will be open
before morning rush-hour traffic.
Workers
will then repeat the closure each night beginning Monday, August 14, through
Thursday, August 17, from 8 p.m. to 5 a.m.
During
the closures, traffic at the construction zone will be diverted to the frontage
roads and other roadways. However, drivers are encouraged to avoid the work
zone and find alternate routes, including I-35, I-37, and Loop 1604.
Construction
zone detours include:
- Eastbound I-10 traffic will detour to southbound
I-410, exit at Rigsby Ave., enter northbound I-410, and take the eastbound
I-10 exit.
- Westbound I-10 traffic will detour to northbound
I-410, turn around at Rittiman Rd., and continue on southbound I-410
towards the westbound I-10 exit.
- Northbound I-410 traffic will exit E. Houston St.,
continue on the frontage road, use the turnaround at Ackerman Rd., and
re-enter northbound I-410 at the next available ramp.
The closures are part of TxDOT’s $100 million effort to build two new flyover ramps and make other needed transportation improvements at the I-10 and I-410 interchange. In addition to the flyover ramps, the project also includes frontage road, drainage, and lighting improvements. Williams Brothers Construction Company, Inc., the project contractor, expects to complete the project in 2025.
The I-410/I-10 East interchange project is part of TxDOT’s Texas Clear Lanes initiative that aims to reduce congestion and improve safety on the most congested corridors in the state.
All construction lane closures are weather permitting and subject to change. Stay connected on TxDOT San Antonio’s Twitter feed, @TxDOTSanAntonio, Facebook page, @TxDOTSanAntonioTX, or the Go Ahead! Blog for ongoing construction and traffic updates.
