The contractor, Joe Bland Construction, started the project in December 2022.

The project cost $5.8 million and was funded by voter-approved road bonds and $670,000 by Liberty Hill ISD for turn lanes at the proposed high school. Developer Bruce Nakfoor also contributed two acres of right-of-way to the project.

“This completed roadway is an example of a great partnership and will make access between US 183 and Ronald Reagan more efficient and also provide better access to Liberty Hill ISD’s Legacy Ranch schools,” Precinct 2 Commissioner Cynthia Long said.
