The project—dubbed FM 1518 Expansion—is being led by the Texas Department of Transportation and consists of reconstructing 5.6 miles of FM 1518 by widening the existing roadway and making two 11-foot lanes in each direction, according to TxDOT.
A 34-foot-wide raised center median, a 10-foot-wide shared-use path on the east side of the roadway and a 6-foot-wide sidewalk along the west side of the roadway are also being constructed as part of the project.
Latest update
Construction of the eastern half of the Trainer Hale Road intersection in Schertz, new northbound lanes and shared-use path south of Trainer Hale were completed in 2025, according to TxDOT. In partnership with CPS Energy and the city of Schertz, TxDOT also completed utility upgrades and continued underground storm sewer and drainage work.
Currently, the roadway at Woman Hollering Creek Bridge is being widened, with work to be completed by the end of December, according to TxDOT.
