Three segments are currently being constructed, and two others are still in development. The overall project stretches 23 miles along Loop 1604 from Bandera Road to I-35.
Part of the plan is to expand the number of lanes from four to 10.
TxDOT estimates 150,000 drivers commute along Loop 1604 each day. However, it anticipates the number will double within the next 20 years due to more growth in San Antonio.
