Loop 1604 / US Highway 281 Interchange is Under Construction Near Hollywood Park

Construction has begun by TXDOT on the long awaited interchange between the two major highways that border Hollywood Park.  Loop 1604 which encircles a large portion of San Antonio borders the Park on the north side, and US Highway 281 borders the Park on the east side.  While the actual interchange is about a mile away from the HP boundaries, the construction has and will continue to impact the traffic patterns in our area.

Once completed, the hope is that the volume of cut-through traffic seen on some of our Hollywood Park streets will be lessened if motorists have easier and faster ways to get from one highway to another.  Meanwhile, it looks like we have a year or two to look forward to traffic delays, detours, noise and dust!
