TxDot Schedules Open House On SH 21 Improvements Project

AUSTIN, TEXAS — The Texas Department of Transportation will host a second open house to discuss the proposed improvements to SH 21 from SH 80 to SH 71 this week.

The event is scheduled on Thursday, Jan. 24, from 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. at Cedar Creek Middle School Cafeteria, 125 Voss Parkway, in Cedar Creek. The open house follows a similar one that previously took place in Kyle. The open house format allows attendees to come and go at their convenience, as there will be no formal presentation.

Proposed improvements include:

• Widening the roadway, where needed, to add east and westbound alternating passing lanes.
• Widening the roadway within Hays County to add 8-foot shoulders.
• Widening 28 existing culverts and one bridge.

Maps, drawings and project information will be on display and project team members will be available to answer questions, officials said. Comments from the public are encouraged, TxDot officials added.

Those unable to attend the meeting in person can mail in their comments to the TxDOT Austin District, Attention: Michelle Milford, P.O. Box 15426, Austin, Texas 78761-5426. For more information on the project, visit txdot.gov and search for keywords “SH 21 from SH 80 to SH 71.” Written comments must be received by Friday, Feb. 8 to be included in the public record.
