The closure is scheduled to begin at 9 p.m. Friday, Oct. 18, and end at 5 a.m. Monday, Oct. 21.
TxDOT plans to have law enforcement present at the La Cantera and I-10 intersection and have requested Six Flags to have law enforcement at its entrance to assist with traffic flow and reduce back up due to an expected large crowd on Saturday.
Access to businesses will remain open during construction.
Drivers are urged to plan ahead and use navigation apps on their phones or vehicles for real-time traffic information.
Closures may open early if work is completed and the road is safe for drivers.
Since January, work focused on installing steel beams as crews construct flyover ramps at the interchange. According to TxDOT, steel beam work is currently 63% complete, with 95 beams in place. In the coming months, the first flyover ramp is scheduled to open, connecting drivers from eastbound Loop 1604 to westbound I-10.
