TxDOT, VIA Open Second HOV Lane

The Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) and VIA Metropolitan Transit have opened Bexar County’s second high-occupancy vehicle (HOV) lane. The Interstate 10 westbound HOV lane is open to traffic from La Cantera Parkway to FM 3351.

This is the first of three VIA-managed HOV corridors that were built in partnership with TxDOT. The second is expected to open on U.S. Highway 281, from Loop 1604 to north of Stone Oak Parkway, and a third running from north of Stone Oak Parkway to Borgfeld Road in 2023.

The lanes are designed to target high-traffic corridors with an alternative lane for multi-passenger and emergency vehicles.

“The opening of HOV lanes is a culmination of several years of community engagement, planning and construction and just one of many projects we are delivering to prepare for the future growth of our region,” said Mario Jorge, San Antonio region engineer at TxDOT.
