TxDOT Plans Urban Corridor Transformation for Business US 77 in Waco

Sponsored

The Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) has unveiled plans to modernize Business US Highway 77 in Waco, potentially transforming the corridor from a traditional highway into an urban boulevard. According to KXXV News 25, the project spans from the I-35 intersection to University Parks Drive and incorporates bridge replacements, pavement repairs, and the addition of a shared-use path for non-vehicular traffic. TxDOT officials noted that the roadway has outgrown its original purpose, and the new design aims to better serve local cyclists and pedestrians. While the project is in its early stages without a confirmed cost estimate or finalized timeline, construction could begin between 2028 and 2030. Public feedback is being collected through September 25 via formal comment channels and a public meeting at the Texas Sports Hall of Fame.
