WilCo officials break ground on Legacy Ranch Drive in Liberty Hill

Williamson County officials marked the start of a project to construct Legacy Ranch Drive near CR 258 and CR 260 in Liberty Hill on March 6.

Find out more: Located near the new Liberty Hill ISD Legacy Ranch High School, opening in the fall, the project will expand 0.6 miles of the road from the CR 258 and CR 260 intersection to the CR 258 extension.

The expanded road will be two lanes in each direction with medians. The project also includes two new traffic signals, pavement overlay and right-turn lanes into the new school.

Quote of note: “When we talk about school safety, your mind goes in a thousand directions,” County Judge and former LHISD Superintendent Steve Snell said at the groundbreaking. “But at its very core, it's getting every single kid to school safely and home safely. Transportation [and] roads are a big part of that.”

What's next: The $1.5 million project will be complete by the first day of school in early August.
