Adamsville stakeholder meeting

Adamsville Stakeholder Meeting
Monday, Jan. 29, 2024, from 6 – 7 p.m.
Adamsville Baptist Church
17084 US Hwy 281
Lampasas, Texas 76550

Note: TxDOT staff were available to answer questions at the meeting.

The proposed project includes the following:

• Widen US 281 between US 183 (Lampasas) and the Hamilton County Line (Evant) in Lampasas and Coryell counties with two additional travel lanes for a total of four lanes (two lanes in each direction).
• Improve safety by separating traffic with a grassy median.
• Add paved median crossovers along US 281 to facilitate access to and from both sides of the highway. Exact crossover locations have not yet been determined.
• A narrower roadway section may be considered at specific locations with significant existing constraints.

The purpose of the project is to improve mobility by constructing additional travel lanes and increase safety by bringing the roadway up to current design standards, separating northbound and southbound travel lanes with a grassy median and upgrading other safety appurtenances (guard rail, sloped culvert end treatments, wide shoulders, etc.). The project spans approximately 28 miles and will require additional right-of-way adjacent to the existing corridor (acreage to be determined pending final design); displacements may also be required but have not yet been identified.
