The final project from the 2015 road bond for Montgomery County Precinct 3 will widen Kuykendahl Road from two to four lanes from Lake Woodlands Drive to Research Forest Drive, according to Precinct 3 officials. A new bridge will also be constructed over Bear Branch to accommodate the northbound lanes, while the existing two lanes will become southbound lanes.
