AUSTIN, TX — A new bypass road will connect RM 620 and RM 2222 to the east of the Four Points intersection, improving mobility in this heavily traveled corridor, state transportation officials said Monday.

Elected officials will join the Texas Department of Transportation to break ground on the RM 2222/RM 620 Bypass project on Wednesday, Dec. 11 at 10:30 a.m. This project will include a bypass road from about a mile north of Steiner Ranch Boulevard to RM 2222 as well as a raised median on RM 2222.

This is the second of two projects to improve mobility at the Four Points intersection. Project 1, which will widen RM 2222, broke ground in January and is expected to be complete by summer 2020, weather permitting. Project 2, which includes construction of the bypass road, is expected to be complete in spring 2021, officials said.
