The planning and design portion of the Hero Way road improvements project in Leander is anticipated to continue until the end of 2023, Williamson County Commissioner Cynthia Long said.
“It’s a regionally significant project because it’s a major east-west roadway through the heart of our county,” she said. “Leander, in our last bond election, prioritized it as their No. 1 project to partner with the county on.”
In a partnership between the Texas Department of Transportation and Williamson County, the work on Hero Way—also known as RM 2243—will include two main lanes going each direction separated by a concrete barrier that will have a direct connection to 183A Toll, Ronald Reagan Boulevard and the Southwest Bypass, according to county documents. Additionally, the roadway will include two three-lane frontage roads with access ramps on either side of the main lanes.
The project will be done in three phases with Phase 1 being the construction of a single frontage road, which will serve two-way traffic until the other frontage road is built in a future phase, according to the county.
