ORIGINAL STORY CONTINUES

A chunk of Interstate 10 between San Antonio and Boerne will be shut down in both directions this weekend for construction, rerouting drivers onto temporary ramps.

The Texas Department of Transportation said Fair Oaks Parkway on I-10 will close Saturday at 5 a.m. and reopen Monday at 6 a.m.

Crews are reconstructing a bridge to add a lane in each direction, left turn lanes and a west-to-east turnaround. Right now, the bridge has two lanes and stop signs.

Traffic traveling on the frontage roads toward Fair Oaks Parkway will be blocked off.

Old Fredericksburg Road and Leslie Pfeiffer Drive will be closed off from the highway. Officials don't believe businesses in the area will be affected by the closures.

"Every effort has been made to minimize the impact on the flow of main lane traffic. However, frontage road and side street traffic will be heavily impacted," reads the TxDOT post.

This weekend's closures mark the first of about a half-dozen more this summer, which will occur the first three weekends of July and are subject to change.

"Expect overnight closures later this summer as crews pour concrete," reads the TxDOT post.
