The details
After completion, Sam Bass Road will be a three-lane roadway with a continuous center-turn lane and shoulders. Project features include a shared-use path for bicyclists and pedestrians, and intersection improvements.
The enhancements will improve safety and mobility on the road, according to the county.
What else?
So far, the county has completed interim traffic signal improvements where Sam Bass intersects with RM 1431, Walsh Ranch Boulevard and Great Oaks Drive.
Voter-approved bonds from 2019 fund the first phase of improvements on the road.
Looking ahead
Design for the road project allows for future expansion to six lanes; however, Williamson County will not proceed with further expansion until the need arises, according to the county’s project dashboard. A larger expansion will also require additional funding.
