Hays County, in coordination with the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT), is planning a new alignment of FM 2001 to enhance safety and connectivity in this rapidly growing area.
​
The County and TxDOT have worked together to identify, design, and construct improvements along several segments of FM 2001. In 2020, TxDOT completed the schematic design and environmental assessment for a new alignment of FM 2001 from I-35 to SH 21. This section of the roadway would ultimately consist of two lanes in each direction, divided by a median, and sidewalks on both sides. These long-term improvements are intended to support future transportation needs and would only be constructed as growth necessitates and funding becomes available.
​
The current phase of the project focuses on completing design plans to address existing transportation needs by constructing one lane in each direction separated by a median. Coordination with property owners and utility providers is also included in this phase of the project. Construction is not currently funded.
COST: $1.7M
IMPROVEMENTS
Construct a new alignment of FM 2001 to include:
-
One travel lane in each direction separated by a median
-
Shoulders on both sides of the road
-
Turn lanes at intersections

RIGHT OF WAY
Because the roadway will follow a new alignment, this project will require additional ROW to construct improvements. ROW acquisition is underway.
