Project Overview
Hays County is advancing plans to extend William Pettus Rd from SH 21 to FM 110 to enhance east-west mobility and support the region’s continued growth. This proposed roadway connection aims to enhance mobility and help manage traffic in one of Central Texas's fastest-growing areas, including San Marcos and Kyle.
Why this Project?
Improves safety and mobility
Reduces congestion
Supports local growth
Project Background
Extending William Pettus Road was first identified as a priority in CAMPO’s Western Caldwell County Transportation Study. This study analyzed factors like current and future traffic patterns, economic growth, environmental considerations, and population trends. One of the key recommendations from the study was to create a connection between SH 21 and FM 110 in order to improve access and reduce congestion on surrounding roadways.

Alignment Options
How was this route chosen?
The project team conducted an alignment study, evaluating multiple route options to consider:
-
Property owner input
-
Safety
-
Environmental impacts
-
Cost
This study led to a proposed alignment for public consideration that would provide:
-
The best safety and mobility improvements
-
Minimized impacts to property owners
-
The best intersection spacing to the existing FM 110/Yarrington Road intersection
Next Steps
Hays County and the project team will continue to develop the schematic design while refining cost estimates and designs. The next steps will involve close collaboration with stakeholders, including property owners, local government agencies, and TxDOT.
Current project funding supports corridor planning, design, right-of-way acquisition and environmental coordination. Additional funding sources for construction are currently being evaluated.
