Study Description

TxDOT, in cooperation with the City of Bulverde and Comal County, has begun the study of the 7-mile stretch of SH 46 from Bulverde Road to FM 3159 (Smithson Valley Road) for potential improvements. The project is being developed to address safety and mobility concerns in this rapidly growing area of Bulverde. Proposed improvements may include expansion of the road to six lanes, sidewalks and bicycle accommodations.
