en.Wedoany.com Reported - To address growing traffic pressure on the western corridor of San Antonio, the Texas Department of Transportation (Texas DOT) will invest $473 million to reconstruct U.S. Highway 90 (U.S. 90) between Interstate 410 and SH 211 in two phases. This section already carried 60,000 to 70,000 vehicles per day in 2019, with traffic expected to double by 2045.

The first phase contract has been awarded to El Paso-based contractor Jordan Foster Construction, covering construction from I-410 to Loop 1604, a stretch of approximately 3.3 miles. This phase is estimated to cost $146 million and is scheduled for completion by early 2030.

The second phase will extend from Loop 1604 to SH 211, covering approximately 4.3 miles. The total cost for this phase has not yet been determined, with construction expected to begin as early as 2028 and last about four years. Texas DOT stated that funding for the second phase is not yet fully secured, and the general contractor has not been announced.

Upon completion of both phases, U.S. 90, currently a four-lane highway, will be upgraded to a six-lane freeway with three main lanes and continuous frontage roads in each direction.

The plan also includes constructing a roundabout on the south side of U.S. 90 and improving intersections and pedestrian facilities. Texas DOT noted that the project will also add shoulders and auxiliary lanes.
