Connally Loop - Interstate 410 East - San Antonio, Texas - December, 2022

[@FriendlyGuy08]

Amazing drive of Connally Loop! I’m actually glad you made a video in San Antonio because the highways are amazing! Like the Connally Loop is actually one of the most best highways I’ve seen in Texas. Please do more videos in San Antonio!

Glad you enjoyed it! I have more to upload in the future.

I’m glad that you released a San Antonio video, a series that I’ve been waiting for quite a while. I honestly like the fact that I-410 has around 5 lanes/direction through the northern portion of San Antonio & narrows down to only 2/direction through the southern portion 😂. Also, through Quebec, we’ve been struck by a winter storm this week. It touched more severely the southern portion with freezing rain & caused several major power outrages. Several schools also closed for the day because of that storm, including those in the Montreal region, right after their return to school after the strike, they’re back home. In my region, we’ve also been touched by the storm, but it was strong winds & heavy snow & no freezing rain. I’ve counted around 15 power outrages here, but it was definitely not as bad as southern Quebec, where some of them didn’t have power for over 24 hours. Funnily, my area (the city of Saguenay) was the only one where schools were still open, the eastern Saguenay & Lac-St-Jean’s schools were shut down. I’m kinda jealous of them, tbh, as they could enjoy the snow while we had to go to school. But believe it or not, but another storm is going to hit Quebec once again tomorrow & a bit of Ontario. I believe it’s gonna be quite similar than the last one. I’ll probably review it next week if something changes. Also, in my region, we’ve also lost someone very important, Marina Larouche, who died last Sunday, the cause of her death is still uncertain, but her health condition has deteriorated before dying. She was mostly well-known for being the director of Accès Bleuets, the group who made a fierce struggle to convert Route 175 through the wildlife reserve of Laurentides to the 4-lane divided highway we know.

Thanks for the comment. There certainly is much more development along the northern fringes of San Antonio than on the south. Winter certainly arrived with this weekends snow storm.

Wasn't expecting San Antonio to have such an impressive ring road. As you mentioned the interchanges look amazing, though the one with I-35 leaves a lot to be desired. Great video

[@AsphaltPlanet1]

Glad you enjoyed it!

There's rumors that they'll be upgrading that very interchange. 🤞

What a nice video of interstate 410

[@FSolo-Saenz]

Impressive vid of the northern arc of IH loop 410 from the western Hwy 90 intersect to the eastern IH 10 intersect. The southern arc of IH loop 410 is less dense population-wise but is a good view from a divided 4 lane highway. And if y'all are curious, the 410 loop is 52 miles around.

Best loop in America.

First video in San Antonio!

[@ThirdrowDriver]

5:41- That's a crazy weaving zone. Overall it seems like the "interstate standards" in Texas are pretty poor, especially when it comes to acceleration lanes.

[@RoadsOfAsiaBen]

Great drive! Have you heard the east side of Interstate 410 and Interstate 10 is having a replacement of the interchange which will be a stack interchange (under construction) replacing the cloverleaf interchange?

[@AsphaltPlanet1]

I'm guessing you didn't watch the whole video. (Which is fine). You can see the construction of that stack interchange within the video.

nice video! are you planning on doing any videos in the austin area?

[@AsphaltPlanet1]

Eventually there will be more Austin videos, but I have already uploaded a couple of them already. I actually have quite a few Austin videos already on the channel.
