SAN ANTONIO – Hours ahead of the start to the Labor day weekend \u2014 a big piece of the 1604 expansion project on the Northwest side is finally finished.<\/p>\n
The newest flyover ramp to I-10 is now open, making travel much easier for people coming from 1604 W.<\/p>\n
The project started four years ago. People who live and work in the area have dealt with traffic and construction since then as crews built the ramp.<\/p>\n
It’s the third of four flyover ramps set to help with TXDOT expansion of loop 1604 on the North side \u2014 it cost roughly $279 million.<\/p>\n
Segment 2 of the project connects the opposite sides of 1604 and I-10. That part is scheduled to be finished in 2027 and comes at a projected cost of $463 million.<\/p>\n
The overall project will expand the loop between Bandera Rd and I-35, bringing it to a total of 23 miles — with a roughly $1.4 billion price tag.<\/p>\n
People we spoke to who live and work in the area said they believe this will help the area run more smoothly once all the construction is done.<\/p>\n
Work on the entire expansion will continue through 2028.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"SAN ANTONIO – Hours ahead of the start to the Labor day weekend \u2014 a big piece of…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":183937,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[5133],"tags":[5229,19615,9886,80511,103337,46081,18475,7202,7203,358,314,3187,67,586,132,5230,68,2969],"class_list":["post-183936","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-san-antonio","tag-america","tag-commuters","tag-construction","tag-expansion-project","tag-flyover-ramp","tag-i-10","tag-loop-1604","tag-san-antonio","tag-sanantonio","tag-texas","tag-traffic","tag-tx","tag-united-states","tag-united-states-of-america","tag-unitedstates","tag-unitedstatesofamerica","tag-us","tag-usa"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/115110292018018044","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/183936","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=183936"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/183936\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/183937"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=183936"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=183936"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=183936"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
