TxDOT Brownwood District is proposing to reconfigure the US 190 (Plum Street) intersection and reconstruct the roadway to include a continuous center-turn lane, curb and gutter, illumination, sidewalks, and drainage improvements between Sulphur Creek and the Burnet County Line in Lampasas County.

Proposed Project Benefits

• Improve the safety and mobility of US 190 (Plum St.) intersection
• Increase mobility; approximately 7,800 vehicles per day travel this roadway each day including  truck traffic - traffic is projected to increase to nearly 11,000 vehicles per day by 2037

Proposed Improvements

• Reconstruct and widen pavement
• Improve intersections
• Improve drainage
• Add sidewalks and illumination
• Add a center turn lane for vehicles making left-hand turning movements 
  

This project requires utility relocation and right of way (ROW); however, that amount has not been determined at this point.
