We plan a drive from Oklahoma to Port Aransas, avoiding I-35 in Texas to stay away from traffic in Dallas/Fort Worth, Austin and San Antonio. Any suggestions for the best alternate route would be greatly appreciated. Our RV is a 30' Class A with tow car.

Is this a trick question:h I-35 doesn't go anywhere near San Antonio and goes a good 10 to 15 miles west of the beltway around Dallas and there is a beltway by-pass around Fort Worth. I don't understand why you would want to try and avoid I-35 anyway.:S

Yesterday I-35 went straight through San Antonio... Dallas and Ft Worth... Traffic is horrible, construction everywhere pretty much the entire length of I-35 from the Red to the Rio Grande.

Unless you want to ride the ferry between the mainland and Port A you will go to Corpus Christi and come down the beach road.. Ferry ain't bad unless you catch a lot of traffic and sit for an hour or more.

OPs your are right and when I did the route in Google Maps the route suggested has I-35 in the top and goes well to the east of San Antonio, but on closer look you split off of I-35 north of Austin and pick up state 130 and US183 into Aransas, Tx. I assumed the route suggested was all I-35 ... my mistake and didn't zoom in to see the split from I-35. In any event taking I-35 thru San Antonio looks out of the way anyway and the suggested route still bypasses Austin somwhat and there is an alternative using US77 from around Waco.
