US 281 - Lampasas County

The TxDOT Brownwood District is proposing to reconfigure the US 190 (Plum Street) intersection and reconstruct the roadway 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, is subject to final design considerations, requires new right of way and will potentially displace zero residences and one non-residential structure.
