“Prior to this project, FM 2001 was full of sharp turns. The roadway was realigned, and the sharp curves straightened to get drivers where they need to go quicker and safer,” said TxDOT South Travis Area Engineer, William Semora. “This one-mile section of FM 2001 is now a four-lane divided highway with shoulders designed to keep up with the growth in the Buda area.”
Hays County is now the second fastest growing county in the nation. “I’m really excited about this project,” said Hays County Precinct 2 Commissioner Michelle Cohen. “And I’m really excited about future growth on the east side and what we can do to accomplish wonderful things with our partners.”
