Guys:

Is this a good route thru SA direct to I-37?

Or would I do better to take the longer 410 loop to I-37.
Rig is 41' Class A with CR-v toad.

All replies are appreciated!

Thanks!

Absolutely yes! US 281 is perfect going South through San Antonio to I-37.

It depends on when you plan on driving through there. Week days during rush hours it becomes a parking lot, slow moving traffic with accidents everywhere. 410 and 35 are the same way during rush hours.

Going through SA is a little tricky and traffic can be an issue at times. With your rig I would take the outer loop, 1604, around the east side of San Antonio.

Unless I am mistaken or some construction has been completed, I don't believe SH 1604 loop is freeway completely around from US 281 to IH 37 South on the east side of San Antonio.

Do not take 1604. Everything South of 90 on the West side and South of 10 on the East side is two lane stop and go traffic with stop lights and four way stops.
