Weekend driving on the Northside of San Antonio has become a bit of a gamble. As the state works to completely reshape Loop 1604, there are some pesky closures that cause intense traffic slowdowns and frustrating detours. This weekend, the closure is going to be a serious doozy, as a busy stretch of Texas’ biggest state loop completely shuts down.
Driving along Loop 1604 will be dicey for a big chunk of the weekend. The Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) is completely shutting down both directions of Loop 1604 near U.S. 281 from 9 p.m. Friday, June 26, to 3 p.m. Saturday.
Every eastbound lane of Loop 1604 between Blanco and Bulverde roads will be closed for 18 hours. So, folks heading toward Stone Oak or crossing over into the Northeast Side should brace for serious slowdowns or delays this weekend…
