CR 255 open for Georgetown drivers

Williamson County completed its CR 255 road project Aug. 24, opening a new two-lane road between CR 254 and CR 289. Officials celebrated the road opening with a ribbon-cutting.

The details

The 3-mile road project includes a direct connection to Ronald Reagan Boulevard and removes sharp turns, according to a county news release.

“This is a regional road for us,” Precinct 3 Commissioner Valerie Covey said. “It’s on our Long Range Transportation Plan, and eventually it will go further north.”

With a $20.8 million price tag, the project was funded through Williamson County’s Road and Bridge funds.

What’s next

Commissioners plan to vote on a name change for the road sometime in September, Covey said. The proposed name is Tucker Parkway, she said.

The Tucker family moved to Williamson County in the 1850s and bought over 1,000 acres of land in the 1870s.
