Proposed 281 Expansion Near Dolan Place
General Info - Lot 106 - Lot 107 - Lot 108 - Lot 109 - Lot 110 - Lot 112
The Texas Department of Transportation (TXDOT) is currently proposing to add toll lanes to the existing US 281 highway from Loop 1604 to the Bexar County line and beyond. Construction on widening 281 north of Loop 1604 to Stone Oak parkway is already in process.
The following photograph was taken of the TXDOT schematic presented at a public hearing Sept. 8, 2005. It shows the proposed Wilderness Oaks overpass and the anticipated taking of approximately 200 ft on the west side of the existing roadway. There is no proposed taking on the east side (the Dolan Place lots). For the sake of clarity, the approximate location of the lots has been added to the TXDOT schematic by the author. Note that the northbound exit ramp (yellow) from the 281 toll lanes (blue) connects to the "free" (yellow) lanes at the southern edge of lot 106. The proposed Wilderness Oaks overpass is shown in red.
