Below are
historical photos of San Antonio freeways not covered in other
galleries. These photos were compiled from a number of sources, including
old newspapers, planning documents, reader contributions, the TxDOT photo
archive, and the personal collection of a former local Highway Department
engineer. Locations are given using the present-day roadway names.

Fratt
Interchange (I-35/Loop 410/Austin Hwy) looking east
I-35 runs left-right across the top of the photo. Loop 410 runs
from I-35 to the lower left, and Austin Hwy. is at the
lower right. Notice the crossover in the median of Loop 410
near the center of the picture-- this picture was taken when
Loop 410 had not yet been upgraded to a freeway in this area.
Also of interest is the town of Fratt on the right side
of the photo, after which this interchange is named. Today,
the town is long gone, replaced by the
Interchange Business Park.
