CONSTRUCTION IS RAMPING UP ON LOOP 1604 EXPANSION PROJECT

 

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.

FULL CLOSURE OF I-10 IN BOERNE STARTING FRIDAY, MAY 14

*DUE TO WEATHER, THIS CLOSURE HAS BEEN POSTPONED TO THE WEEKEND OF JUNE 11.*

As part of the ongoing IH-10 frontage road construction, work is progressing into the next stage of construction which will require the demolition of the existing US-87 (Main Street) bridge. 

In order to safely remove the bridge, crews will need approximately 56 hours of continuous full mainlane closure of the IH-10 eastbound and westbound travel lanes between SH-46 (Bandera Rd) and Scenic Loop. The removal of this bridge will allow crews to start working on the new US-87 bridge.  

The work is scheduled to start on Friday May 14, 2021 at 9:00 pm and is expected to be completed by 5:00 am on Monday May 17, 2021, weather permitting.

The westbound mainlanes will be removed at Exit 542 Business US-87 and will be directed along the Westbound Frontage Road to the next available entrance ramp prior to SH-46, and

The eastbound mainlanes will be removed near SH-46 and will be detoured along the Eastbound Frontage Road and will be allowed to enter back onto the mainlanes east of Scenic Loop.  

During this closure, there will be no through traffic at Scenic Loop under IH-10. All traffic will be required to turn right onto the frontage roads.

• Northbound Scenic Loop traffic will be detoured to Balcones Creek intersection and
• Southbound Scenic Loop traffic will be detoured to the SH-46 intersection.

As a reminder, all construction work is subject to change.
