Williamson County officials broke ground on a new segment of the Ronald Reagan Boulevard expansion in Georgetown on Oct. 7.

About the project

This portion of the project will construct two new southbound lanes from Williams Drive to CR 245. The existing road will become the northbound lanes, separated by a median, according to a county news release.

“Ronald Reagan Boulevard is a vital roadway. As neighborhoods like Sun City, Parmer Ranch, Highland Village and Somerset Ranch continue to expand, the area will continue to be a magnet for both residential and commercial growth,” Precinct 3 Commissioner Valerie Covey said in a statement.

The 2.4-mile project will cost approximately $27 million and is anticipated to be completed by summer 2028, the release states.

The history

The Ronald Reagan Boulevard expansion project is broken into five main segments. The full corridor covers about 30 miles from Cedar Park to Georgetown, with plans to expand the road into an eight-lane divided highway with frontage roads, according to previous Community Impact reporting.

Another segment of the project, from FM 3405 to SH 29, began in the summer of 2024 and is scheduled for completion in the summer of 2027, according to county documents.
