Plan ahead — Hildebrand Ave. to be shut down in mid-December

No matter where you drive in San Antonio, you’re bound to run into roadway construction. While it’s never convenient, it is necessary to improve infrastructure around our city.

Starting Dec. 15, Hildebrand between Howard and McCullough will be closed in both directions for about a week so SAWS crews can replace more than 18,000 linear feet of 8-inch and 10-inch gravity sewer main.

During construction, traffic normally traveling on Hildebrand between Howard and McCullough will be diverted north to West Olmos Drive.

The project is part of the utility’s EPA consent decree and the comprehensive efforts to reduce sanitary sewer overflows across the city.
