Project to increase road capacity along highway
Representatives from the Texas Department of Transportation say Phase 1 of construction to extend FM 1938 into a four- to six-lane roadway with raised curb medians remains on schedule to finish this summer.
The first, 2.2-mile phase from Hwy. 114 to Vaquero Golf Club remains underway.
Last month, crews finished construction from Hwy. 114 to south of West Dove Road. They built three lanes in each direction with raised medians on what used to be pastures.
This month, crews are working near Randol Mill Avenue from Dove Road to Vaquero Golf Club, where they are constructing main lanes and pedestrian tunnels. TxDOT spokesman Val Lopez said crews will continue construction through the summer and drivers should not be affected by the work.
