A major road expansion is planned, involving a significant investment of approximately $186 million. The project aims to increase capacity by adding an extra lane in each direction. This will help accommodate a growing number of drivers. Construction is expected to start in fall 2027 and will be carried out in two phases. The work is intended to support ongoing growth and development. Further details about the project, including its scope and timeline, are available from the Texas Department of Transportation.
The expansion will affect a busy roadway, currently with two lanes in each direction.
