From SH 45 to RM 150 in Travis/Hays counties
The next project development phase is schematic development and environmental studies. An exact start date for this next phase has not yet been determined. The environmental study during the next phase of project development will further investigate the outcomes of the feasibility report and will include the environmental studies and documentation necessary to comply with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969.
Current conditions

Project development process
The project development process consists of the following four phases:
- Planning and feasibility study (2023-2024)
- Environmental study and schematic design
- Final design, acquisition of right of way, and utility adjustments
- Construction
Public involvement
The purpose of public involvement is to share study information and updates along with collecting input from the community. Public input is a highly valued and important part of creating improvements to address transportation needs. TxDOT is committed to working closely with the public to ensure that community members have the opportunity to comment, voice concerns, and ask questions.
The public involvement schedule included two stakeholder working group meetings held in August and December of 2023 and a public meeting in summer 2024. To see summaries of those meetings, please see the attachments in the “Downloads” section below.
