San Antonio officials says that plans for Broadway have come to full stop after a meeting with Texas road officials.

After a meeting Thursday with the heads of the Texas Department of Transportation and the Texas Transportation Commission, Mayor Ron Nirenberg said in an emailed statement “We learned today that TxDOT’s priority is not improving traffic flow and mitigating congestion, it’s all about six lanes of asphalt, regardless of capacity.”

Top City of San Antonio executives think they may have a way to get the city’s plan to redevelop Broadway Avenue back up and running while still following through with a “complete street” vision. But the Texas Department of Transportation doesn’t appear eager to bend on its insistence to keep all six lanes of traffic.

San Antonio has changed plans that made TxDOT claim ownership over Broadway and put a halt to construction.

Reports say officials at the scene said at least one person is dead from an accident at Highway 151 and Loop 1604.

As the number of deadly crashes continues to climb, TxDOT officials hope a new campaign will save lives.

In Texas last year over Spring Break, there were 872 DUI-alcohol related traffic accidents, resulting in 30 fatalities and 107 serious injuries, TxDOT officials say.

If your weekend plans involved driving around the Loop 1604 and Bandera Road intersection, you might want to change those plans. Vehicles going north and south on State Highway 16 (Bandera Road) will have to drive around Loop 1604 to get back on the highway. The intersection is one of San Antonios busiest: Around 40,000 cars use Bandera Road, and 120,000 cars use Loop 1604 every day, said Hernan Rozemberg, spokesman for the Texas Department of Transportation San Antonio District. The intersection closed back in April when TxDOT was working on constructing the new displaced left turn, which gives drivers on Bandera Road the option to get onto Loop 1604 access roads without getting on the highway. Harper Brothers, the contractor working on the Loop 1604 and Bandera Road intersection, will assume all costs for repaving the intersection, Rozemberg said.

Laura Lopez, a spokeswoman for TxDOT, said the project is set to start construction in early 2021. We will have schematics, we will have an animation and boards that people can see what we are proposing, Lopez said. She said they also have plans for the Loop 1604 and I-10 interchange. Lopez said the funds they receive will dictate the exact ending date for the project, but that is unknown at this time. That project, which is about 23 miles long, will also accommodate bicyclists and pedestrians, water quality protection and other features.
