I saw "IH-4" and thought that Texas had commissioned another short Interstate highway.

Also: U-181: I-33?

Same, except I thought it was a new variety of bonkers Texas interstate designation and they were going to try to fit "4-1H-4" in an Interstate shield.

Bids were opened for the first section to be widened, 5 miles from SH 16 to IH 10. Williams Brothers placed the low bid at $148 million, 11% under estimate. As you can see in the tabulation, they left a lot of money on the table.

This is yet another big win for San Antonio. This project was originally slated to be tolled, and now all 8 main lanes are toll-free, and there are two HOV lanes (which I think are also toll-free).

In the extreme unlikely-hood that Loop 1604 became another Interstate beltway, I would number it 235-or-435-or-835 rather than number it 210-or-810. You can probably guess why.

Bids were opened today for work from IH-10 to US 281. Zachry/Austin is the apparent low bidder at $243 million.

210 would be kinda cool in the fact that it's the original area code for SA.

Bids were opened today for the new 5-level interchange at Loop 1604 and Interstate 10, replacing the existing cloverleaf. The low bid of $418 million is 3% below estimate, but the estimate was recently drastically increased from $303 million to $432 million, so the estimate does include recent inflation.

The next lowest bid was $518 million, so TxDOT is surely thankful Houston-focused Williams Brothers was a bidder.

The frontage road intersection will be some kind of stretched roundabout. Is this a first in Texas?

I'm not aware of any.

I posted this somewhere before. 512 was the original area code for San Antonio. 210 was split off in 1992.

Bids were opened today for the next phase of the Loop 1604 expansion project. The low bid is $193 million. The limits of this phase are from Stone Creek Parkway (about 1 mile west of US 281), eastward 4 miles to near Bulverde. The overall plan for Loop 1604 is 4-1H-1H-4, but there also additional auxiliary lanes on this section due to the US 281 interchange being in this section.

Looking at the plans, the lanes west of US 281 are 11 feet wide (which matches the rest of the section between US 281 and I-10), but the lanes east of US 281 are 12 feet wide. I was glad to see the 12-foot-wide lanes going eastward.
