DRIPPING SPRINGS — To accommodate the region’s growing population, Hays County is working to improve the mobility and enhance safety on Fitzhugh Road between RM 12 and the county line.
With an average of 4,400 travelers daily, Fitzhugh Road currently faces challenges, including narrow lanes and shoulders, pavement deterioration and sight line obstructions, leading the county to look at how to meet the immediate needs of the corridor.
“Currently, Fitzhugh Road is a narrow, two-lane roadway that serves as a key east to west connector for many parts of Hays County,” said Kelli Culp of the Fitzhugh Road Safety Study Communications Team. “Throughout recent years, many businesses and residents have moved out to the area, increasing travelers along the corridor.
