The Texas Department of Transportation is slated to break ground this spring on expanding Bee Caves Road and adding a center turn lane, West Lake Hills Mayor Linda Anthony said.

The project, which is expected to relieve traffic congestion in the area, required the city to acquire right of way from property owners along the roadway—from Bulian Lane to Redbud Trail.

However, one parcel of land needs to be acquired before construction can begin, Anthony said. The parcel is currently in the city’s condemnation process, she said.
