Visitors heading northbound on U.S. 281 will exit St. Mary’s and be directed to head north on Stadium Drive. Those approaching the zoo from the north will take turn left on Tuleta.
San Antonio Zoo president and CEO Tim Morrow said this is the first year the zoo partnered with San Antonio police, the Parks and Recreation Department and city engineers to devise a traffic plan.
“We want visitors to have a pleasant experience upon arriving here to work and play, and we believe this concept will help do that," he said in a news release.
