Wake me up when they upgrade US-290 between the state's largest city and growing capital into expressway standards if it interstate standards.

Giddings bypass, Elgin bypass, and Elgin-Manor freeway/tollway when?

^ San Antonio is still missing one. And hopefully that remains forever.

if they even try one, it would likely be an extension of 130, or else, it would be a waste of time and money.

There's an unofficial loop nicknamed "The Circuit". http://www.texashighwayman.com/circuit.shtml

Very odd that there isn't continuity of the loop on the north end at 281. Any reason why it won't just cut straight across 281?

It looks like Lake Edinburgh and some collection of wetlands ponds are obstacles on the West side of I-69C. That part of the loop has to go North around those land features.

Bids were opened today for the 365 tollway. The low bid is $296 million. This is about 14% above the estimated cost of $260 million listed on the Pharr district project list.

This is the rebid for Segments 1 & 2 of the 365 tollway; a previous attempt in 2017 bombed.

Where were those "365 Tollway Construction" photos in the OP taken?
"Officer, I'm always careful to drive the speed limit no matter where I am and that's what I was doin'." Said "No, you weren't," she said, "Yes, I was." He said, "Madam, I just clocked you at 22 MPH," and she said "That's the speed limit," he said "No ma'am, that's the route numbah!"  - Gary Crocker

I wasn't aware of any part of Toll 365 existing, but there's a trailblazer for it at the S end of Spur 29. :hmmm:

Edit: Maybe the photos in the OP were at the US281 San Juan Rd interchange?

A new toll road in Hidalgo County broke ground, and the project is expected to be complete by 2026. The $281 million project will connect more than 12 miles between the Pharr International Bridge with the Anzalduas Bridge in Mission.

Is any of this work showing up on Google satellite map imagery yet? I can't see any signs of ground movement yet (maps could be outdated).

The Loop 365 tollway will be 8 miles longer than the Loop 1604 beltway around San Antonio. Texas sure likes their beltway loops. Hopefully, it will be completed within 25 to 30 years.
