Williamson County Celebrates Key Intersection Project

WILLIAMSON COUNTY, TEXAS — Transportation officials have scheduled a groundbreaking ceremony next week on a key county intersection.

Officials with Williamson County, the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) and City of Liberty Hill will stage the groundbreaking ceremony for much-needed improvements to the intersection of SH 29 and C.R. 200 / Loop 332. The county-led project includes adding dedicated right turn, left turn and through lanes on C.R. 200 at SH 29, transportation officials said. A right-turn lane from northbound SH.29 onto C.R. 200, drainage improvements at the intersection, and a new traffic signal are also part of the project scope, officials said.

“Improving safety and mobility throughout the county is one of our highest priorities," county commissioner Cynthia Long said. "These improvements will relieve the congestion and remove the bottleneck at this busy intersection.”

Mayor Rick Hall spoke to the importance of the project to the City of Liberty Hill: “The improvements to this intersection and the other improvements that the county is doing on C.R. 200 will be very beneficial to Liberty Hill residents and all drivers in the area. I am thankful for the great partnership we have with Williamson County.”

Financing for the improvements provide were derived from $1.1 million from Williamson County coffers, $500,000 from the Texas Department of Transportation and $100,000 from the Liberty Hill Economic Development Corporation. O’Brien Engineering Services (now Jones/Carter) is the design engineer, and Cox Commercial Construction is the contractor.
