Main Plaza Redevelopment: Downtown drivers,
visitors should be aware of street closures around the project


Main Plaza logoThe first steps to transform the heart of downtown San Antonio continue with Phase 1 construction on the Main Plaza Redevelopment Project. Drivers are advised to be aware of the following upcoming street closure for Phase 2 construction which will get underway on March 10.

  • Phase 2 Street Closure:
    • Intersection at Market and Main Plaza streets will be closed beginning Sunday, March 10 and ending on Thursday, April 5.
      • At least two through lanes on Market Street will be kept open during peak traffic periods from 8:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. on weekdays. At least one lane will be open during non-peak travel times.
      • Full intersection closures, when necessary, will be limited to nights and weekends.
      • At least one side of north-south and east-west pedestrian crossing will be available at all times.

Alternate routes for the Phase 2 closure are as follows (map attached):

  • Dwyer/Main Plaza Street Detour:
    • Northbound traffic on Dwyer will take a right turn on Nueva and head eastbound to St. Mary's where it will take a left turn. Immediately after the left turn, traffic will take the Navarro fork to the right and proceed northbound to Travis. Then a left turn on Travis will direct traffic back to Soledad (Soledad is an extension of Dwyer).
  • Market Street Detour:
    • Eastbound traffic on Dolorosa/Market will take a right turn on Flores and head southbound to Nueva where it will take a left turn. It will then head eastbound on Nueva to St. Mary's where it will take a left turn. Immediately after the left turn, traffic will take the Navarro fork to the right which will direct it back to Market.

      Drivers also are advised to be aware of a Phase I traffic plan addition detailed as follows:
       
  • Phase I Traffic Plan Addition:
    • Dwyer/Main Plaza Street will temporarily be converted from a one-way, northbound only street to two-way traffic from Villita to Nueva streets effective today, March 1.
    • A temporary traffic signal light has been installed at the intersection of Nueva and Dwyer streets facing north to accommodate the two-way traffic. The temporary addition
      will allow the free flow of traffic during this initial Main Plaza project construction and takes place in conjunction with the complete closure of Dwyer/Main Plaza Street from Dolorosa alleyway to Market Street and varying lane closures on Dwyer/Main Plaza Street from Villita to Dolorosa alleyway.

Additional project construction information and street closures are detailed on the Main Plaza website, www.sanantonio.gov/mainplaza. Citizens can also call 207-8140 or 311 for more information.
