Proof that some construction projects do end in the Alamo City.

The City of San Antonio and its partners are hosting a grand opening block party for Lower Broadway on Saturday, Oct. 26 at 1:30 p.m. For those not familiar with the project, this section of Broadway received infrastructure improvements through a $56.9 million 2017 Bond Project and additional funding streams.

New features include ADA-compliant wheelchair ramps, lighting + streetscapes, on-street parking, and wider sidewalks. Earlier this year, two lane traffic reopened and the updated bike lanes opened along Avenue B + North Alamo Street last year.

To celebrate the end of this construction era, the River North Block Party at 821 Broadway St. will include:

  • Grand opening ceremony at 1:30 p.m.
  • Block party from 2 to 6 p.m.
  • Live music
  • A kids zone
  • A local vendor market

The event is free and open to the public.
