Hays County and the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) continue finalizing the design of the I-35 and Posey Road Intersection improvements. The purpose of this project is to enhance safety and mobility.

The project has been environmentally cleared and right-of-way has been acquired. The County is nearing completion of utility coordination and design approvals. Construction is anticipated to begin early-to-mid 2018 and take 18 months to complete.

  • Modifications to the elevation of one ramp at Posey Road.
