As part of a $1.4 billion project to expand and improve Loop 1604 in San Antonio, the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) will be closing the stretch of La Cantera Parkway that runs under Interstate 10 every night this week from 10 PM to 5 AM. The closure will impact access between the popular Shops at La Cantera and The Rim shopping centers, requiring drivers to take alternate routes during the overnight hours.

Why it matters

The La Cantera Parkway connector is a heavily trafficked area, especially on weekends, as it provides access between two of San Antonio's major retail hubs. The nightly closures are necessary for TxDOT to work on bridge construction as part of the larger Loop 1604 expansion project, but could create significant inconvenience for late-night shoppers and diners in the area.

The details

TxDOT will be closing the La Cantera Parkway underpass at I-10 every night from 10 PM to 5 AM through Sunday, February 8. Drivers heading from the Texas Hill Country toward San Antonio who want to access The Rim will need to take the loop around the I-10/Loop 1604 interchange instead of the direct La Cantera Parkway turn. Those heading to La Cantera from Central San Antonio on I-10 West will need to exit at Camp Bullis and use the turnaround to access the shopping center.

  • The closures will run nightly from 10 PM to 5 AM through Sunday, February 8.
  • The overall $1.4 billion Loop 1604 expansion project is expected to be completed by next year.
