Drivers in the area will want to keep an upcoming highway closure in mind to avoid traffic.
The Texas Department of Transportation, better known as TxDOT, plans to close I-10 in Boerne the weekend of August 20 as the U.S. 87 bridge is set to be demolished. This means I-10 will closed from SH 46 to Scenic Loop Road in Kendall County from 9 p.m. on Friday, August 20 to 5 a.m. on Monday, August 23.
The highway will be closed in both directions. Westbound traffic will be diverted to the access road at exit 542, while eastbound traffic will exit at SH 46 to the access road. As for Scenic Loop Road, northbound traffic will be detoured to the Balcones Creek intersection, while southbound traffic will be directed to the SH 46 intersection.
No through traffic will be permitted at Scenic Loop Road under I-10 during the closure, but will instead be directed to the frontage road.
In a press release, TxDOT says the extended amount of time is necessary in order to safely remove the bridge. The removal will bring a new U.S. 87 bridge and is part of a larger I-10 Kendall Extension project focused on frontage road and overpass improvements.
