Drivers in northern Bexar County and the Hill Country had a slippery commute Tuesday morning, and they may face another on Wednesday.
Crews from the Texas Department of Transportation and Bexar County Public Works were out Tuesday continuing to treat roads and highways, emphasizing bridges and overpasses, in anticipation of further cold and wet weather.
Bexar County Public Works began monitoring roads at 5 a.m. Tuesday and responding to areas that needed attention, said John Salazar, an assistant superintendent at the county’s Judson service center. Most of the work by Tuesday afternoon had been for bridges in the northern part of Bexar County, he said.
“So we have crews out in the field and crews here on standby that are ready with barricades or signage that needs to go out. That way, we can close off the roads and keep everybody safe,” Salazar said.
