Texas State Highway Loop 1604
Loop 1604, also known as the Charles W. Anderson Loop, is a highway loop that encircles San Antonio, Texas, spanning approximately 95.6 miles (153.9 km). Its outer loop encircles most of San Antonio and its inner loop, Interstate 410, connects with many highways in the city. Loop 1604 began as a two-lane highway and has been upgraded to a four-lane freeway along its northern stretches. The Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) is planning to add new lanes between SH 151 and I-10 East as toll lanes. An environmental impact statement study is currently underway to determine other improvements needed.

Famous quotes containing the words texas, state and/or highway:
“During the cattle drives, Texas cowboy music came into national significance. Its practical purpose is well known—it was used primarily to keep the herds quiet at night, for often a ballad sung loudly and continuously enough might prevent a stampede. However, the cowboy also sang because he liked to sing.... In this music of the range and trail is “the grayness of the prairies, the mournful minor note of a Texas norther, and a rhythm that fits the gait of the cowboy’s pony.””
—Administration in the State of Texa, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
“If music in general is an imitation of history, opera in particular is an imitation of human willfulness; it is rooted in the fact that we not only have feelings but insist upon having them at whatever cost to ourselves.... The quality common to all the great operatic roles, e.g., Don Giovanni, Norma, Lucia, Tristan, Isolde, Brünnhilde, is that each of them is a passionate and willful state of being. In real life they would all be bores, even Don Giovanni.”
—W.H. (Wystan Hugh)
“Off Highway 106
At Cherrylog Road I entered
The ‘34 Ford without wheels,
Smothered in kudzu,
With a seat pulled out to run
Corn whiskey down from the hills,”
—James Dickey (b. 1923)
