CEDAR CREEK — Major improvements to a stretch of Texas 71 west of Bastrop are slated to break ground later this year, using part of a $183 million state package aimed at improving daily travel, safety and airport access.
Funding for the highway intersection at Tucker Hill Lane comes through a Texas Department of Transportation contract awarded to Jordan Foster Construction. The Bastrop County project will replace traffic lights at the crossway with a grade-separated overpass and add new one-way frontage roads — aiming for reliability and an unobtrusive build.
“Many of our employees live in these neighborhoods or commute on these roads,” said John Goodrich, company president. “We prioritize being a good neighbor throughout construction by minimizing disruptions.”
