Zooming in
This latest development is part of the Loop 1604 North Expansion project, a $1.4 billion project that includes the expansion of main lanes from a four-lane to a 10-lane expressway.
Drivers will be able to access the flyover ramp on Loop 1604, just past Northwest Military Highway, and connect to I-10 before the De Zavala Road exit. The new ramp will provide drivers with an easier connection when traveling from westbound Loop 1604 to eastbound I-10, according to a news release from TxDOT.
The background
In the last eight months, three flyover ramps have opened, with more planned for the future. A fourth flyover is anticipated to open later this year, with all eight being completed by the end of 2025, according to the news release.
- December 2024: Flyover connecting eastbound Loop 1604 and westbound I-10 opens
- June 2025: Flyover connecting westbound I-10 to westbound Loop 1604 opens
- August 2025: Flyover connecting Loop 1604 and I-10 interchange opens
The expansion is a Texas Clear Lanes project intended to enhance safety, improve mobility and reduce congestion along 23 miles of Loop 1604 from SH 16 to I-35, according to the news release.
According to TxDOT, the expansion is planned in six segments, with five segments currently under construction.
- Segment 1, $181 million: from SH 16 to I-10, is on schedule to be completed in 2025
- Segment 2, $463 million: the Loop 1604 and I-10 interchange is on schedule to be completed by 2027, and all flyover ramps are on schedule to open by the end of 2026
- Segment 3, $279 million: from I-10 to US 281, is on schedule to be completed by spring 2026
- Segment 4, $218 million: from US 281 to Redland Road, is on schedule to be completed by 2027
- Segment 5, $205 million: from Redland Road to Judson Road, is on schedule to be completed by 2028
