Texas Department of Transportation officials are seeking public input on five proposed routes for the northern portion of the Hwy. 36A project.

The proposed route aims to provide congestion relief and an alternative route for large trucks to travel from Port Freeport to reach major highways and distribute freight in North Texas, Fort Bend County Commissioner Andy Meyers previously said.

Breaking it down: The northern portion of the project is expected to run from I-10 west of Katy to Hwy. 290 west of Waller, an approximately 20- to 25-mile study area, per project documents.

The proposed project—with a funding source to be determined—includes a new highway with four lanes, with two lanes going in each direction separated by a grassy median, documents show. Additionally, a 10-foot-wide shared-use path is proposed for pedestrians and cyclists.

Get involved: The public is invited to submit comments online, by mail or via email through July 31 with several submission opportunities.

At least one person has died due to flooding in the Texas Hill Country, Gov. Greg Abbott said July 16.

The details: The fatality occurred along the Guadalupe River between Kerrville and Comfort—downstream from Hunt, where many summer camps are located and the majority of the flooding took place in July 2025. Flooding this year has been more intense downstream than upstream, Abbott said.

Zooming in: More than 70 people have been rescued from floodwaters, and evacuation orders have been issued in multiple parts of South-Central Texas, the governor said.

"We have massive flooding in ... the Greater Kerrville area, but we also are looking at what's been taking place in Uvalde—there are massive challenges in Uvalde as well," Abbott told reporters. "In fact, people need to expect very meaningful flooding in the Rio Grande [Valley]."

The big picture: Parts of South-Central Texas were expected to see more than 30 inches of rain during this week's storms, and 59 counties were under a state disaster declaration.
