On SH 29 just west of Liberty Hill, expect lane closures daily for the next two weeks in both the westbound and eastbound directions.  The County’s contractor will be closing the outside lanes to provide safe entry and exit of haul truck in the workzone.  Lane closures will take place between the hours of 8:30 a.m. and  4:30 p.m.  Access to all driveways and sidestreets will be maintained at all time.

From Monday, February 13, to Friday, February 17, at the intersection of SH 29 and Park Place, the County’s contractor, Wolff Construction, is scheduled to perform work that will require a lane to be closed on Park Place.  The lane closure is necessary to allow the contractor to place new drainage pipe across Park Place.  This work will be done in phases, closing half of the roadway at a time to install the pipe while traffic is maintained on the other half.  This lane closure will be daily between the hours of 8:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m.

Transportation (TxDOT) will hold a ribbon cutting for safety improvements to US 183 from South San Gabriel River to SH 29.  The improvements will include a four-lane arterial roadway with shoulders, new bridge structures over the South San Gabriel River and a wide depressed median. The road design engineer for the project was Dannenbaum and construction was managed by HDR.  The contractor, Dan Williams Company, completed the project for a construction cost of approximately $16 million. 

FT Woods will be moving into Phase 2 of their re-construction of 2nd Street in Taylor. Phase 2 consists of one-lane traffic (east/west bound) for the entire stretch of 2nd Street between the Loop (west end of town) and Main Street (Hwy 95).

On Tuesday, January 24, 2012, the Williamson County Commissioners Court heard an update on the status of the County's Road Bond Program.  A copy of that presentation is available here.

Williamson County Commissioners Court approved funding this week for a new roadway named King of Kings Crossing to connect Smyers Lane to the northeast edge of the HEB parking lot, which is located at O’Connor Drive and RR 620.  The project will increase safety and mobility in that area by providing access to Smyers Lane and Wyoming Springs Drive.
