The Texas Department of Transportation is seeking input on plans to widen and divide U.S. Highway 183 from State Highway 71 to SH 130. A press release from the transportation authority explains “multiple neighborhoods, businesses and other structures are located along or close to the corridor, and the Austin-Bergstrom International Airport is adjacent to the highway. TxDOT is proposing to widen and divide US 183 from SH 71 to SH 130 with community support to address congestion and make needed improvements.” The public meeting to discuss the plans will take place on Thursday, Sept. 19, from 5 to 7 p.m. at the Creedmoor Community Center (12513 FM 1625, Creedmoor, TX 78610), with an option to attend virtually at 5 p.m. Anyone who cannot attend the meeting but wishes to have their feedback included in the meeting summary has until Oct. 18 to do so. More information, including how to attend virtually, can be found here.
