What to Expect Today – Sunday, February 22, 2026, in San Antonio

Traffic downtown will be tricky due to long-term bridge work; specifically, the lower-level mainlanes of I-35 South between I-37 and I-10 are completely closed, so stay on the upper levels or use I-37 as an alternative. Additionally, a crash on US-281 North near San Pedro Ave has caused several lane closures this morning, so expect delays if you’re coming from the North Side. On the bright side, parking is free all day Sunday at the City Tower Garage (117 W. Commerce St.) and at most city-owned street meters, making it easy to hop between deals.
