The San Antonio metropolitan area is fortunate to have one of the most comprehensive urban freeway systems in North America.  In fact, Bexar County has one of the largest system of state highways in the nation and one of the highest ratios of freeway miles per capita in the US.  As of the end of 2006, there were 1,014 centerline miles and 3,260 lane miles of state-maintained roadways in Bexar County.  Approximately 210 centerline miles and 1,100 lane miles of that total were controlled-access freeways.  A study by the Surface Transportation Policy Project in 1998 ranked San Antonio's highways as the best among the largest US urban areas.

This site covers the San Antonio freeway system in-depth.  Below, you'll find links to general information about the local freeways and their history and pages with in-depth details about each freeway.  There's also information on some other area highways, details of freeway construction projects, information about TransGuide, and lots of photos.
