"Creation is messy work."

This page contains information about current and future major freeway expansion projects in the San Antonio area.  Data for this page comes from a variety of sources, including media reports, TxDOT, ARMA, and MPO data, and personal observation.  All information is subject to change.  This is not an official website. 

Current & scheduled projects

The following is a map and list of major San Antonio area freeway projects currently underway or with scheduled start dates in the next year or so.  These are expansion, new construction, or TransGuide projects; maintenance and repair projects are not included.  The numbers and letters on the map correspond to the listings on the table below.  Letting, start, and completion dates are from various sources and represent the latest estimated date that I know of.  TxDOT's and ARMA's project schedules are always in a state of constant flux, so all dates shown here, especially for scheduled and proposed projects, are subject to change.  Items listed in the "Final planning" section that are designated as "Unfunded" indicates that the project is ready for construction but is awaiting funding.
