Drivers heads up: New round of construction begins on I-10 near downtown

SAN ANTONIO – A new round of construction is underway in the downtown area as crews have started repairs on Interstate 10 westbound.

According to the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT), the upper level of I-10 westbound will be reduced to one lane for repairs from Poplar Street to Cincinnati Avenue. Alternating closures are expected in this area through the fall.

Throughout the duration of the partial closure, TxDOT said the lower-level of the I-10 westbound will still be open for travel. However, drivers should expect delays coming from I-35 on the West Side and South Side.

The construction is part of major repairs to portions of I-35 and I-10 in the downtown area.

The project includes $25.9 million in improvements spanning 5.5 miles along the corridor: I-35 from South Laredo Street to I-37 and Camden Street, and I-10 from I-35 to Hildebrand Avenue.
