SAN ANTONIO – TxDOT is giving San Antonio drivers a holiday treat by giving them a break from weekend closures at the Loop 1604 and Interstate 10 interchange on the Northwest Side.
From Nov. 27 through Dec. 31, TxDOT has no plans to schedule major weekend construction closures at the busy intersection, which is a relief for holiday shoppers at La Cantera and The Rim.
