The Texas Department of Transportation, in partnership with Williamson County and the cities of Georgetown and Leander, is holding an open house for the RM 2243 corridor study on Thursday, Nov. 29, from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. The meeting will take place at Dell Pickett Elementary School at 1100 Thousand Oaks Boulevard in Georgetown.
The purpose of the RM 2243 corridor study is to determine possible future roadway improvements and right-of-way requirements between 183A and I-35. Potential improvements include:
From 183A to Southwest Bypass (expressway section)
• Three travel lanes in each direction with outside lanes operating as auxiliary lanes
• Frontage roads consisting of three travel lanes in each direction
• New connection to 183A
• Median barrier separating east and westbound mainlane traffic
From Southwest Bypass to I-35 (four-lane urban divided roadway)
• Raised median
• Turn lanes at various locations
• Continuous bike/pedestrian path from 183A to I-35
The open house will allow the public the opportunity to review and comment on the corridor study. Displays will be available for review and staff will be present to answer questions. No formal presentation will be given and attendees are invited to come and go at their convenience.
Comments will be accepted now through Dec. 14 and can be submitted at the open house, by email Sonya.Hernandez@txdot.gov, or by mail at:
