SAN ANTONIO<\/strong> \u2013 After years of construction, sections of streets around Market Square have officially reopened.<\/p>\n

La Familia Cortez Restaurants says it marks a milestone in the city\u2019s ongoing revitalization efforts.<\/p>\n

Santa Rosa Street is open to northbound and southbound traffic between Cesar Chavez and Dolorosa streets as of July 31, according to the City of San Antonio\u2019s website.<\/p>\n

The intersection of Santa Rosa and Nueva streets also reopened, the city said, allowing eastbound and westbound traffic on Nueva through the Santa Rosa intersection. <\/p>\n

However, the city said the block of Santa Rosa between Dolorosa and Commerce remains closed for reconstruction.<\/p>\n

The city also said temporary stop signs will control traffic at the Dolorosa and Nueva intersections.<\/p>\n

Construction will continue with lane closures as needed, according to the city, clearly marked by barricades and signage. All work is subject to weather conditions.<\/p>\n

Zona Cultural Streets, which include Commerce, San Saba, and Santa Rosa streets, have been under construction as part of the 2017-2022 Bond Project: Zona Cultural Streets.<\/p>\n

The program aims to enhance pedestrian amenities and streetscape improvements around Market Square.<\/p>\n

The project, which began in 2022, has caused frustration for several business owners due to the simultaneous work on multiple streets.<\/p>\n

La Familia Cortez Restaurants said in a press release that the construction has \u201cposed challenges for local businesses and visitors alike.\u201d However, the company\u2019s Mi Tierra Caf\u00e9 y Panader\u00eda and La Margarita Restaurant & Oyster Bar have remained open despite the ongoing construction.<\/p>\n
