It's been years since I've traveled 281. It was mostly a 2 lane road with the towns far between and not much to look at.
281 is one of the most heavily congested roads in the city now. If it's been a while since you've been there you'd be amazed at the suburban sprawl.
I've said this on the forum before and a search would have brought it up, but I would avoid both 410 and 1604 to get through San Antonio. They are both out of way and heavily travelled. You are much better off taking IH10 all the way through town. Avoid normal rush hours (7-9 and 4-6) and you'll breeze right through. San Antonio is mostly populated around it's bypasses, and the traffic is horrible along its two loops.
