TxDOT lists alternating nighttime lane closures on southbound US 281 for base repair paving from Oct. 27 through Oct. 28. The construction record places the work between a point 1.105 miles north of FM 1863 and a point 1.795 miles south of SH 46.

Drivers on this Comal County stretch should expect delays; TxDOT lists no detour. Its notice says lanes will close alternately during night work, rather than describing a full southbound closure.
