2:35 looks like a birdseye view in Cities Skylines "Welcome everybody to Cities Skylines with me, Biffa, and here we are in Big Texas!" 😉😁

I-10 / I-410 on the east side interchange WB are making progress replacing the obsolete cloverleaf design with the flyover design. Webber section I-10 on the east side @ loop 1604 interchange the new overpass over loop 1604 interchange is considerably higher since the old east bound I-10 overpass over loop 1604 is still in use. I-10 east side from 1604 to a little into Guadalupe county Webber continues to widen I-10 & has replaced some overpasses. At Graytown rd looks like it will be a underpass since I-10 has been raised in this section . Cool video that going to look really nice when it’s done.

@cjj963 Год назад

I wonder what the easiest way to get to 1604 and Lockhill-Selma will be. I guess I have to continue using my shortcut from Vance Jackson and the access road? Thank you for your videos and website. Extremely helpful!

@TexasHighwayMan Год назад

I will have a series of videos soon (that's a relative term based on when I can make time!) that will highlight those traffic pattern changes. Stay tuned!

@SovietSunrise Год назад

Wish you had subtitles for my hard-of-hearing arse. Great job putting this video together!

Thanks Texas Highway Man!

@gmdzeko9902 5 месяцев назад

So I’ve seen they have set of the beams for the connector to eastbound 1604 to west bound I-10. Under all of it, there is a column that has no bent cap and has been there for some time now. The other columns for that connector are yet to be built.

@SuperJman991 Год назад

Wait…. You can turn left on red at those stop lights under 1604?? You know how many hours of my life I wasted sitting there?

@TexasHighwayMan Год назад

Yes, left on red is legal when going from a one-way to a one-way.

@CamaroSkooter Год назад

Nobody's ever honked at you? 😜

@miggrodriguez9996 5 месяцев назад

Well, I don't drive these areas a whole lot, but I do use the Valero Trailhead on my bike rides and I like the addition of an extra parking lot for those of us that can't (sometimes) find it full have to park outside the fenced area and/or the Drury Inn Hotel's parking lot.

@StrangerCoug Год назад

You should put this video on the project page, too.

@TexasHighwayMan Год назад

Oh yeah, thanks for reminding me. Hadn't had a chance to get to it yet.

@mkperez7465 Год назад

The first problem I see with the fidget spinner is nobody in San Antonio knows what a yield sign means.

@LJM-bp9hc 6 месяцев назад

😅

@LJM-bp9hc 6 месяцев назад

It's going to be awesome when it's done

@st3v0n Месяц назад

The last 8 years have been really bad for the exchange... when this is finished. I say this will solve about 80% of traffic for about 5 years before it needs more lanes...

@gmdzeko9902 Год назад

Does this mean it will be the tallest interchange in the world? Because high five in Dallas in 120ft and you said the tallest flyover is 130ft

@TexasHighwayMan Год назад

Yeah, I've never been convinced that the High Five is the tallest interchange in the world. There's no list of interchanges by height that I've ever seen, so I think that's a bit of Dallas bravado. There are interchanges in Houston, LA, and even overseas that I would bet are at least as tall if not taller. In any case, the 10/1604 will be-- and High Five is, for that matter-- *among* the tallest interchanges. The 10/410 on the East Side will be, too, with a 120 footer.

@LJM-bp9hc 6 месяцев назад

I think it might be

@LJM-bp9hc 6 месяцев назад

5 level stack interchange in Dallas is 120. Houstons highest is 112 so.... we might be tallest 😂

@scottchristensen4081 7 месяцев назад

Hey, I have a question. Will the entire existing structures of the old interchange and the existing T-column bridges that carry 1604 over I-10 be completely demolished and reconstructed, or will they leave the existing structures in commission, widen the T-column bridges that carry 1604 over I-10, and build the new stack interchange over everything? There is a total of 4 T-column bridges that cross over I-10 at 1604, with the two inner bridges carrying 1604's freeway main lanes and the two outer bridges that act as feeder ramps and auxiliary lanes into the cloverleaf ramps. It seems like they could expand the existing main lanes of 1604 by connecting the inner and outer existing bridges together so that they all support the 8 main lanes of 1604, but I'm thinking they're going to demolish everything that's there currently and reconstruct new bridges to carry 1604 over I-10. I'm curious to see what they do.

@TexasHighwayMan 7 месяцев назад

All of the structures will be demolished and re-constructed. While it seems like they could connect the mainlane and collector/distributor lane bridges together, they actually can't because the bridge decks don't line-up. Because of the slope of the deck (required for proper drainage), an extension of the inner bridge decks would come in below the outer bridge decks. I put a copy of the cross-section here so you can see: texashighwayman.com/misc/1604-10-existing.png So at a minimum, they would have to tear down and rebuild the outer bridges to the corresponding elevation. At that point, it really is better to go ahead replace it all, and the new 1604 mainlanes will be about four feet higher than the existing ones.

TXDOT needs to upgrade TX46 to Interstate standards so traffic not stopping in SA bypass it.

@TexasHighwayMan 2 месяца назад

There are currently plans to upgrade SH 46 between Seguin and New Braunfels to a freeway.

@paulcuellar2680 Год назад

Will the extra length of flyovers reduce traffic? In comparison the i10e to 410e/w is always backed up. I think it’s because of the huge steep climb.

@paulcuellar2680 Год назад

And the entrance ramp from medical before Callaghan

@TexasHighwayMan Год назад

While the grade does play a role in slowing traffic on that ramp to 410, the main cause is actually that the volume of traffic using that ramp now exceeds its capacity. TxDOT is currently looking at splitting the westbound 410 flyover off to a separate exit. As for the 1604 interchange, the main reason for the long flyovers is the proximity of intersecting roads and a karst feature to the west, and the constrained space between I-10 and Lockhill-Selma to the east.

@AliceSexton Год назад

For the new exit of I-10 to ease access to La Cantera, do you have new proposed traffic patterns? Also, does the current exit off I-10 for la Cantera go away?

@TexasHighwayMan Год назад

I am working on videos with all the new traffic patterns that will answer those questions! Be sure to subscribe to my channel if you haven't already to get notified when I post them.

@AliceSexton Год назад

@@TexasHighwayMan Can do. Trying to interpret if current traffic patterns will be massively impacted and the current main entrance into The Rim will become obsolete. Thoughts?

@TexasHighwayMan Год назад

@@AliceSexton - Yes, for the roads in the immediate vicinity of the interchange, the traffic patterns will be significantly impacted. The current entrance to the Rim won't become obsolete, though-- there will still be exits from I-10 in both directions for La Cantera Blvd. Folks coming from Loop 1604, though, will have a different way of reaching it than they do today.

@cs292 Год назад

I notice businesses die when you bypass them see 1604/281 and 151/410 and 10/410 it’s sad…..you see it a lot in Austin and Houston too.

@googaagoogaa12345678 Год назад

ah yes the unlucky clover claimed my 21 recently cant wait for this to be done (and get on the tall flyover lol)

@cmikesmith664 10 месяцев назад

The was hit by a driver that failed to yield at the clover leaf.

@dvferyance 2 месяца назад

Everything is bigger in Texas.

@DominicMazoch 2 месяца назад

Why a clover leaf interchange built in the 1980's?

@TexasHighwayMan 2 месяца назад

What exactly is your question?

@martinobunny1655 5 месяцев назад

Can you do el paso i10 to hwy 178

@TexasHighwayMan 5 месяцев назад

Unfortunately, El Paso is eight hours away, so I'm not able to do that. But the next time I head out west, I'll try to do it then.

@cmikesmith664 10 месяцев назад

This is 10 to 20 years overdue. I don’t feel safe driving on 1604.

@TexasHighwayMan 10 месяцев назад

It was planned 20 years ago. The brouhaha over US 281 delayed it.

@dxkaiyuan4177 Год назад

Can we just please build public transit...

@TAELSDOLL Год назад

but i love car

@minecraftcuber4760 11 месяцев назад

Public transit to fix congestion instead of bulldozing houses and businesses for a wider highway. People that love cars can drive, but doesn't mean everyone have to commute by it.
