State Highway 211 is a 11.184-mile (17.999 km) state highway west of the city of San Antonio in the U.S. state of Texas. This route was designated in 1986 as an access route to the Texas Research Park. Portions of the route were built, but significant landowner opposition kept the connecting section from being completed. The completed sections of the route consist of a southern section from U.S. Highway 90 north to Farm to Market Road 1957 and a northern section from FM 471 north to SH 16. The Texas Transportation Commission has approved a pass-through toll agreement that Bexar County submitted in October 2008. This proposal will allow for development of a segment of SH 211 from 1.33 miles south of FM 1957 to FM 471 and improvements to FM 1957 from Loop 1604 to the Medina County line. The completion of the section between FM 1957 to FM 471 will finally allow for seamless travel from Hwy 90 at the south end, north to SH 16. The improvements to FM 1957 will allow for the necessary widening of the two-lane roadway which is dealing with new suburban growth and traffic for which it wasn't built to handle.
