State Highway 151, or SH 151, also known as the Raymond E. Stotzer Jr. Freeway is a west-east state highway that runs from Loop 1604 to US 90 in San Antonio, Texas.
Highway 151 is a limited access freeway for its entire length with the exception of its junction with Loop 1604 at its western terminus where a traffic light controls the junction. Also, there is not a direct connect interchange at the junction of Interstate 410. It is necessary to travel on both highways' frontage roads in order to change highways. Highway 151 is the newest completed freeway in San Antonio, reaching completion in 2004.
