Construction work is progressing on a major project. The goal is to transform a rural roadway into a six-lane freeway with additional features. A construction company from Houston will start work on a new phase of the project.

This phase has a budget of $221.6 million and will focus on a specific section of the roadway. The project involves redesigning the existing roadway and adding frontage roads, bridges, and ramps. Previous phases of the project were completed earlier this year.

Further details about the project are available from the Texas Department of Transportation.
