Significant traffic disruptions are anticipated this weekend in the far Northwest Side of San Antonio as part of the Loop 1604 North Expansion Project. Drivers near La Cantera and The Rim will face multiple closures affecting Interstate 10 (I-10) Eastbound (EB) and Loop 1604. Various lanes and ramps will be closed from Friday evening, January 24, 2025, until early Monday morning, January 27, 2025. These closures are necessary for bridge construction and road expansion. Detailed detour routes have been provided to assist travelers in navigating around the affected areas.

Detour Routes for I-10 Eastbound Traffic

Travelers on I-10 EB facing closures will need to follow a series of detours to continue their journey. The frontage road south of Loop 1604 and the exit ramp to I-10 EB will be closed. Alternative routes via Loop 1604 EB and La Cantera Parkway are recommended to bypass these closures. Drivers should plan for additional travel time due to the detours.

To navigate around the closure of the I-10 EB frontage road, travelers should turn left onto the Loop 1604 EB frontage road, then left again onto the I-10 WB frontage road. They can use the La Cantera Parkway turnaround to re-enter the I-10 EB main lanes at an entrance ramp just south of La Cantera Parkway. For those needing to access the I-10 EB frontage road, they should follow the I-10 EB main lanes to Exit 557 and re-enter the frontage road. This route ensures continuous travel while avoiding the construction zone.

Detour Routes for Loop 1604 Traffic

Drivers using Loop 1604, both eastbound and westbound, will also encounter closures impacting their journey. Specific detours are outlined to help motorists reach I-10 EB or WB without interruption. The westbound bypass lane and the exit ramp to I-10 WB will be closed for bridge construction. Careful planning is advised to ensure smooth navigation through these changes.

For Loop 1604 EB users aiming to access I-10 EB, the recommended detour involves exiting at Vance Jackson Road and entering the Loop 1604 EB frontage road. From there, drivers should turn left onto the I-10 WB frontage road and use the La Cantera Parkway turnaround to re-enter the I-10 EB main lanes. Similarly, Loop 1604 WB travelers should utilize the I-10 exit ramp to enter the Loop 1604 WB frontage road, keeping right onto the I-10 WB frontage road. Those heading to I-10 WB can enter via the first available entrance ramp, while those going to I-10 EB should follow the same route as previously described. These detailed instructions ensure that all drivers can safely and efficiently navigate the construction area.
