Monday October 8th will be the first day of the new stage of Loop 480 which will connect International Bridge II with El Indio Highway. This phase called the Outer Loop actually reaches Highway 57, which The Honorable Hope Andrade, Texas Secretary of State so proudly spoke of in her address on Thursday at City Council Chambers. Eventually the loop will reach Highway 277 to Del Rio and it shows the progress of our community and the future economic development we will surely see in the near future. Celestino Hernandez, TxDoT Representative, said that the ceremony to open the new byway will be at 9:30 A.M. at the intersection of El Indio and the new loop. Dignitaries will be on hand for the festivities then the loop will be open for business. This will aid in alleviating traffic in the immediate areas especially in terms of commercial traffic as they will no longer have to travel within the city to get to where they're going as time is of the essence in their line of business.
