Culebra Area Streets in San Antonio, TX

The Culebra Area Streets project involves the new construction of roadway reconstruction, storm drain, and utility infrastructure along Culebra Rd in San Antonio. This major public works initiative covers a total area of 2,164,932 sq ft, representing a significant expansion of the local transportation network in Bexar County. The City of San Antonio is the owner of record for this development, which is designed to improve connectivity and drainage in the 78228 ZIP code area.

Project Scope and Financial Scale

With an estimated cost of $5,739,065, this project stands out among recent filings in the region. The estimated cost is above the county median for new construction projects, placing it in the top quarter of similar filings. Despite the high total investment, the cost per square foot is calculated at $3, which is below the county median of $115 per square foot. This disparity reflects the nature of linear infrastructure projects, where the total budget is spread across a large linear footprint rather than a dense building structure.

The scope of work includes comprehensive roadway reconstruction, installation of new storm drain systems, and upgrades to utilities. These improvements are critical for managing traffic flow and preventing flooding in the Culebra Road corridor. The project is funded through public funds and is classified as a Federally funded roadway project, ensuring strict adherence to state and federal construction standards.

Timeline and Regulatory Status

Construction is scheduled to finish in May 2027, with work starting in May 2026. The Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation (TDLR) completed plan review in June 2026, and the project status is listed as Review Complete. Peter F Grojean is the registered accessibility specialist for this filing. The scheduled build window of 365 days is longer than the county median of 208 days, allowing for the complex coordination required for multi-phase street and utility work.

The City of San Antonio has six other TDLR-registered projects totaling $4,167,870, including Clearview Dr. and Pearsall Park. This project is part of a broader effort to maintain and upgrade the city’s infrastructure. Residents in the 78228 area, which has a median household income of $50,865, will benefit from the improved road conditions and drainage capabilities once the work is complete.
