1604; Culebra to Bandera Ranked Most Congested

Today TxDOT presented their annual list of the most congested roadways in the state.  One would expect that 281 north of 1604 placed first in Bexar County, yet it was the stretch of 1604 from Culebra to Bandera Rds that claimed the dubious honor as the slowest moving road in the area. 

For all the details, see TxDOT's press release, the Express News story, and check out a nice summary at On the Move:

1604, Culebra to Bandera
  • 945,701 annual hours of delay, or about 197,000 hours per mile...
  • costing commuters $20.6 million....
  • rush hour trip takes 51% longer than an off-peak trip.
KSAT12 reports help is in progress at Braun and 1604.  Hopefully there's more in store for the intersection.  The additional westbound lane of Braun striped earlier this week did not shorten the queue at the light as hoped.
