HAYS COUNTY, Texas – Plans for a roadway expansion in Hays County is in the works.

The Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) held a meeting to get feedback from residents on the traffic and congestion along the RM 1826 corridor, and hopefully provide a solution.

“Hays County is the second-largest county in the entire nation. We continue to see more people moving out here, more businesses, so providing this route to get to U.S. 290 is important for them,” said TxDOT spokesperson Antonio Lujan.

A feasibility study held at Real Life Church allowed Hays County residents to view the future plans for the 7.7-mile stretch of RM 1826.
