South Alamo Street at E. Cesar E. Chavez Blvd. will be closed to northbound and southbound traffic through mid-November. Local traffic and businesses are still accessible and open.

South Alamo Street at Cesar E. Chavez Blvd. will be closed to northbound and southbound traffic through mid-November– Efren Moreno, the owner of Blush in Southtown, said this Saturday had the slowest business since opening his restaurant in March.

The city said overarching project construction began in December 2022. This intersection closure is just one phase of the entire project. The city sent KSAT 12 a timeline of its communication efforts for this closure, saying it first notified “stakeholders” on Sept. 8 at the City’s monthly Downtown Safety and Construction Update meeting. The city also said in-person visits, emails, flyers and social media posts started on Sept. 18 through Sept. 29.

“We didn’t really know until recently, in the last probably five, six days of the true impact,” Donnelly said. “We needed to talk to try to figure out a solution-based system on how we do not make this into another long-running issue like North St. Mary’s or any other construction project that affected small business.”
