Nursery Road closes for VA overpass construction; Holbrook Road Gate opens inbound in mornings

By 502nd Air Base Wing Public Affairs 502nd Air Base Wing Public Affairs

The Fort Sam Houston Independent School District recently learned that Nursery Road will remain closed through the end of the year due to the construction of the bridge for the Fort Sam Houston National Cemetery. 


To facilitate traffic concerns for Fort Sam Houston Elementary School students, parents and staff members, Joint Base San Antonio-Fort Sam Houston has decided to open the Holbrook Road gate on weekday mornings for inbound only from 6-9 a.m. until Nursery Road is re-opened. 


Opening this gate will allow access from I-35 via Petroleum Road, thus enabling a convenient route to the elementary school in the mornings. 


The Holbrook gate will not be open in the afternoons for school dismissal. 


Note that Holbrook Road outside of the installation will be closed due to a San Antonio Water System project, but Petroleum Road will remain open.
