First Flyover Ramp Opens at Loop 1604 and I-10

The Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) has opened the first flyover ramp at the Loop 1604 and I-10 interchange, marking a significant milestone in the $1.4 billion Loop 1604 North Expansion project. This new ramp allows for a direct connection from eastbound Loop 1604 to westbound I-10, aimed at improving mobility and reducing congestion in San Antonio. Officials are optimistic that this will significantly enhance connectivity, with the entire expansion expected to be completed by 2027. The project involves extensive upgrades, including the transformation of the interchange into a multi-level design and expanding the mainlanes from four to ten. Despite the progress, local businesses have faced challenges during construction, prompting state legislators to address concerns over ongoing road closures. No further closures are anticipated until after the winter holiday period, allowing for smoother travel for commuters.
