Public Notice: Loop 1604 Interchange Completion and Community Health Schedule
Official City Roundup: Thursday, February 5, 2026
The City of San Antonio and various state agencies have issued several critical updates for residents today. These include the finalization of major infrastructure projects, health service schedules, and opportunities for civic involvement.
Transportation: Loop 1604 and I-10 Flyover Opening
The Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) has announced that the final flyover ramp at the Loop 1604 and I-10 interchange is officially scheduled to open today, Thursday, February 5. This ramp, which connects westbound Loop 1604 to westbound I-10, marks the completion of all eight flyover ramps for the $1.4 billion expansion project. While the interchange is now five levels high, motorists should note that work will continue on lower-level infrastructure and frontage road repairs. Additionally, nightly closures will remain in effect from 10 p.m. to 5 a.m. through Sunday, February 8, specifically impacting the La Cantera Parkway intersection at I-10 for ongoing bridge construction.
Public Health: Mobile Clinics and Disease Surveillance
The San Antonio Metropolitan Health District is operating mobile clinics today, February 5, to provide Sexually Transmitted Infection (STI) screenings and resources at various locations throughout the city. Residents are encouraged to check the city’s official health portal for specific site hours. In a related health development, local medical professionals have flagged a public health concern regarding a measles outbreak at a San Antonio-based federal detention facility. Officials are monitoring the situation to prevent further community spread.
Civic Engagement and Municipal Opportunities
The City of San Antonio is currently accepting applications for the Airport Advisory Commission (AAC). This commission provides essential feedback on the development and operation of the San Antonio International Airport. The deadline for residents to submit their applications is March 2, 2026. Furthermore, the City is actively seeking public input via an online survey regarding the future of the River Walk, aimed at identifying long-term improvements for this historic destination.
