According to unofficial results from Montgomery County, voters approved the $480 million road bond with a vote of 5,760-5,147, or 52.81% for and 47.19% against the proposition.

County Judge Mark Keough said in a post on social media the bond will allow for the county to make investments in its roads.

"Thanks to this bond, we’ll see significant investments in road improvements across the county. From reducing congestion and improving safety, this bond is a bold step forward in making our transportation infrastructure work for Montgomery County all with zero increase to our tax rate," Keough said in a post.
