Construction begins on Roger Hanks extension

Construction has begun on a roadway that will eventually connect Roger Hanks Parkway at U.S. 290 to Ranch Road 12

Lee Lewis Construction, Inc. began work on the first phase of the Roger Hanks Parkway project July 5. The first phase of the project would extend Roger Hanks Parkway from U.S. 290, across Old Highway 290, and connecting to the southwest parking area of the new Tiger Stadium on the campus of Dripping Springs High.

With construction ongoing, drivers can expect the permanent closure of the east end of Old Highway 290. Motorists in need of access to homes or businesses in this area will have access only from the intersection of U.S. 290 and Meadow Oaks.
