Location: Between Blanco Rd. and Wetmore Rd. Description: This project will build the missing middle section of the Wurzbach Parkway. Purpose: The Wurzbach Parkway was designed to provide an alternative east-west thoroughfare between Loops 410 and 1604 across the Northside.  This project will finally complete the parkway.

Timeline: This project will be done in three phases; see the map below for the timeline for each phase.  Click here for the latest status report on this project.

US 281 improvements and interchange: Construction of the middle section also includes several significant improvements along US 281 itself.  Those are described separately on the US 281 North page.

Note that there will not be a full interchange at US 281 at this time.  Instead, traffic connecting between the two roadways will use the US 281 access roads.  Specific maneuvers are outlined below:

• From US 281 to Wurzbach
  • NB US 281 to EB Wurzbach: Exit at the new Wurzbach exit and turn right onto Wurzbach.
  • NB US 281 to WB Wurzbach: Exit at Bitters, take the turnaround, and then turn right onto Wurzbach.
  • SB US 281 to EB Wurzbach: Exit at the new Wurzbach exit, take the new turnaround at Nakoma, and then turn right onto Wurzbach.
  • SB US 281 to WB Wuzbach: Exit at the new Wurzbach exit and turn right onto Wurzbach.
• From Wurzbach to US 281
  • WB Wurzbach to NB US 281: Exit at US 281 and turn right.
  • WB Wurzbach to SB US 281: Exit at US 281, turn right, then take the turnaround at Bitters.
  • EB Wurzbach to NB US 281: Exit at US 281, turn right, then take the new turnaround at Nakoma.
  • EB Wurzbach to SB US 281: Exit at US 281 and turn right.

An interchange was not included due to funding-constraints.  A future interchange will be considered when traffic levels dictate and funding is available.

Schematics: Click on one of the images below to see an annotated overview schematic of each phase of this project.  These plans are courtesy of TxDOT and is subject to change.  Annotations are my own.  (Note: Typically I provide a more detailed schematic of a project, but the available schematics were mostly too cluttered to be easily interpreted.  Because of the relative simplicity of this project, I opted instead for a more generalized overview schematic.  Let me know if you want or need something more detailed.)
