San Antonio Express-News, PUBLIC NOTICE Notice of Availability: Record of Decision (ROD) United States Highway (US) 281, from Loop 1604 to Borgfeld Drive in Bexar County, Texas Pursuant to Texas Administrative Code, Title 43, §2.108, the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) is advising the public of the availability of the ROD for proposed construction on US 281, from Loop 1604 to Borgfeld Drive in Bexar County, Texas. The Selected Alternative would expand US 281 to a six-lane expressway with partial access-controlled outer lanes. From Loop 1604 to Stone Oak Parkway, the expressway lanes would include two non-toll general purpose lanes with an auxiliary lane plus one managed lane in each direction. The expressway lanes would be situated between three partial access-controlled outer lanes in each direction, also known as frontage roads. From Stone Oak Parkway to Borgfeld Drive, US 281 would ultimately be expanded to a six-lane expressway (three managed lanes in each direction) with two non-toll outer lanes in each direction. The project limits extend from Loop 1604 to Borgfeld Drive, a distance of approximately eight miles. The ROD explains the selection of the recommended alternative and signifies the completion of the environmental review process.
