3 transportation updates in Northeast San Antonio

Check out three transportation project updates in the Northeast San Antonio Metrocom.

Ongoing Projects
Cibolo FY25 Street Rehabilitation Package 1

Project: The package, part of Cibolo’s FY25 Capital Improvements Program, will provide rehabilitation at Deer Creek Boulevard from Cordero Drive to Falling Sun, Green Valley Road from Dean Road to Westmont, and Green Valley Road from Cibolo Valley Drive to Green Valley Loop.

According to Cibolo City Council agenda documents, rehabilitation is a mill and overlay treatment, where concrete is repaired and replaced as needed. The 2-3 inches of asphalt are also removed and replaced. This will result in an improvement to road conditions for 10-15 years with maintenance.

Update: City Manager Wayne Reed said at the Sept. 23 Cibolo City Council meeting that the project will be completed Oct. 27.
