The Texas Transportation Commission is expected to approve Jan. 31 a project development agreement between the Texas Department of Transportation and the Central Texas Regional Mobility Authority. Mobility Authority Executive Director Mike Heiligenstein said after getting that approval the agency can procure a contractor to design and build the project. Construction is expected to start in spring 2020, and the project will also include adding a fourth continuous nontolled lane that TxDOT will fund.
