ATX Public Safety

Many people ask why we need police officers 🚓 parked on the side of the road during construction 🚧 projects.

This is one of the reasons. Sometimes the issue starts at the job site with people speeding and not following the road crew's direction ⤵️.

Other times it involves helping people during emergencies or other law enforcement agencies.

Central Texas! Get ready for new road improvements.

Remember to give construction workers a break by slowing down at 🚧 construction zones 🚧.

To give area neighbors an idea of the possible projects the TIP could include, these are the projects that made the 2021 through 2024 Rural TIP.

The Texas Department of Transportation said it broke ground on the FM 110 North Project Tuesday. When complete, the project will create an east-side loop that can be utilized as an alternative to I-35.

The $36.5 million project includes a section of new roadway from SH 80 to I-35 with one lane in each direction, 10-foot shoulders, and a bridge over SH 21.

The FM 110 North project is the final of three projects that will complete the loop. The contractor is Webber, LLC.
