Live Oak Traffic Alert: Roadwork Postponed
11 Sep
Summary
- Lookout Road closure postponed to September 23.
- The project involves installing 1,148 new road markers.
- An $18 million transportation bond funded roadwork.
The City of Live Oak has postponed the closure of Lookout Road, originally set for September 10, to September 23. This closure, affecting the stretch from Toepperwein Road to Loop 1604, is necessary for the installation of 1,148 new road markers and the removal of old ones.
This project is part of a larger, ongoing effort to improve Lookout Road, bolstered by an $18 million transportation bond approved by voters in 2022. The city council also allocated $7.5 million from its Economic Development Fund in 2023 to initiate construction. The Alamo Area Metropolitan Planning Organization is also contributing funds for road improvements.
The Northeast Side of San Antonio is experiencing substantial residential and commercial expansion, leading to increased traffic congestion. Locals have voiced concerns about the intersection of Lookout and Toepperwein roads. Funding has been allocated for railroad work at this intersection to support a new traffic signal.
