SAN ANTONIO – City officials Wednesday celebrated the completion of the Tezel Road bond project.
The project included reconstruction of Tezel Road from Culebra Road to Timber Path with new sidewalks and bike lanes, along with upgrades to traffic signals and drainage.

“The Tezel Road pedestrian connection idea was brought to us by one of our District 6 constituents in 2010," Councilman Ray Lopez said. "We were fortunate to be able to add the project onto the 2012 bond initiative, and now we have greater pedestrian and bike access to that section of Tezel Road.”
The project reconstructed five lanes, and included new pavement from the Culebra and Tezel roads intersection south to the Culebra Creek bridge and on Tezel Road from Timber Path north to Emerald Spring.
Camino Rosa also got a new traffic signal.
“Tezel is an important road of District 6, connecting residents to other significant roads," Mike Frisbie, city engineer and director of transportation and capital improvements, said. "This project delivers connectivity and drainage improvements, which are a top priority to our residents."
The project's total budget for improvements was $7.25 million.
