Interstate and State Highways

Infrastructure of the region continues to be one of the area’s largest advantages. Being located at the junction of the state’s two largest corridors, IH 35 and IH 10, provides a dramatic advantage to the trade industry. The presence of both an international airport and a large multimodal trade facility located so near to the US Mexico border, makes San Antonio a very important hub for dispersion of goods both to and from the United States. Total trade between the U.S. and Mexico was $525 billion dollars in 2016; $294 billion in imports and $231 billion in exports. https://www.census.gov/foreign-trade/statistics/highlights/top/top1612yr.html

There are 8 major interstate and state highways that service the Alamo area. These include IH 35, IH 10, IH 37, US Highway 90, US Highway 181, US Highway 281, Loop 410 and Loop 1604. These highways serve to transport both goods and commuters throughout the region and as the population grows, so to do the need for upgrades to this infrastructure. Many of the major highways in the region are currently experiencing enhancement projects or have projects scheduled to begin this fiscal year. IH 37, LP 13 to IH 410, will have construction of a partial frontage road, ramps, and intersection improvements.
