All schematics are preliminary except as noted.
It is often referred to as the West Loop parking lot because of the severe congestion that occurs between I-10 and US59. The West Loop south of I-10 is still in its 1960's configuration. It has 8 main lanes and 6 feeder lanes. The pavement has been in terrible condition for years, and TxDOT has been patching up the concrete, trying to stretch the life until a major reconstruction can occur. The reconstruction has begun on the south end of the West Loop and will play out over the next 5 years.
