The Texas Department of Transportation is set to open another flyover ramp at the 1604 and Interstate 10 interchange on San Antonio's far Northwest Side on June 2 at 5 a.m.

The new ramp will connect I-10 West with 1604 West.

This will be the second flyover to open at the Loop 1604 & I-10 interchange. The first ramp opened back in December. A third ramp is expected to open later this year.

$463 million was spent to transform the Loop 1604 & I-10 interchange into a five-level design.

The ramps are part of phase 2 of the larger $1.4 billion 1604 North Expansion project , which aims to reduce congestion and improve mobility along 23 miles of 1604.

Segment 2 of the Loop 1604 North Expansion began construction in late summer 2022. It's expected to be completed by 2027.

TxDOT reports weekeend closures from 9 p.m. on Friday May 30 through 5 a.m. Monday, June 2 are required to complete the final preparations for the opening.

We drive over them often, maybe everyday, and they still manage to take our breath away. The highway flyover interchanges that climb up into the sky. But why are they so high? And why does Texas make them higher than any other state? What does that say about us?
