After Southtown businesses voiced concerns about construction cutting into their bottom lines, the intersection of South Alamo Street and East Cesar E. Chavez Boulevard reopened around noon Tuesday, allowing two-way traffic in all four directions, according to city officials.
This reopening of the busy south-of-downtown interchange arrived earlier than expected. Originally, it the closure was expected to last until mid-November, city officials noted.
"In case there was any remaining doubt: @Ron_Nirenberg & @ejwskk don’t care about the impact on small businesses," restaurateur Chad Carey tweeted."They are responsible for an incompetent & dysfunctional @COSAGOV Support the S. Alamo businesses as best you can."Miles Donnelly of La Frite Belgian Bistro, 728 S. Alamo St., told the TV station that city officials didn't reveal the true impact of the construction until five or six days prior to its start.
