It's no secret that Austin and San Antonio are becoming some of the biggest cities in Texas, which one day might rival the likes of Dallas-Fort Worth and Houston. KLRN, San Antonio's local PBS station, examines the approximately 80-mile region between both Central Texas cities in the new documentary, San Antonio-Austin: The Emerging Mega-Metro.

    With the relative proximity and all the small towns in between, it really does seem like we’re trending toward an eventual DFW situation. Then the question becomes whether or not we eventually see an I-10N/I-10S split like they have with I-35. We’re the largest city in the country with only one interstate, so I wouldn’t rule out the possibility if we continue to outpace national growth trends.

    It’s like DFW in that most of the burbs for Dallas and Fort Worth aren’t shared between the two. They are still distinct entities that share a mega airport between the two.
