TxDOT Approves Millions For Concho Road Work

The state has now funded some long-needed road construction work in the Concho Valley. The Texas Transportation Commission approving three billion dollars in Proposition 12 bond funding to address congested highways, rehabilitate bridges and improve connectivity among the state's major cities. The San Angelo TxDOT District, which serves 15 counties, will receive about $23 million for 10 construction projects for Tom Green, Sutton and Schleicher counties. Construction will begin next summer for the projects, which include adding changing lanes on U.S. 277 between San Angelo and Sonora, replacing bridges at U.S. 277 and 67 and completing widening and resurfacing work on FM388, or Paint Rock Road, near Bell Street. Eight of the 10 projects approved for San Angelo's TxDOT region make up what's called a "Super 2" highway. The highway project will be grouped into three contracts — Christoval, Christoval to Eldorado and Eldorado to Sonora.
