TxDOT begins U.S. 281 work near high school; Hostess House entrance to be relocated
ERICK MITCHELL | DISPATCH RECORD Contract workers have begun a drainage project for the Texas Department of Transportation along South U.S. Highway 281. This initial work is part of an extended TxDOT project designed to improve safety and mobility along the highway from the Burnet County line through the area where the Hostess House sits.
The Texas Department of Transportation started construction efforts Monday on its road improvement project from the Burnet-Lampasas County line to the Central Texas Expressway/ U.S. Highway 281 intersection by Sulphur Creek.
Construction has begun later than the anticipated fall 2023 start time. The project is expected to be completed over the next two-and-ahalf years.
