HUTTO — Officials broke ground Thursday on Segment Two of the East Wilco Highway from CR 137 to CR 404, part of a multimilliondollar initiative to facilitate transportation to a growing high-tech hub.
The project will eventually connect Texas 130 just north of the Travis County line to CR 101, creating a southern loop around Hutto’s city limits and adding a western access point to the Samsung Highway.
“This is a $64.4 million project. It is expected to be the largest project in the history of WilCo,” said Williamson County Precinct 4 Commissioner Russ Boles. “This is Section Two of the East WilCo Highway, and it’s only second to Section Three of the East WilCo Highway, that we’re work- our partners at (the Texas Department of Transportation), and that’s a huge $80 million. That is a phenomenal investment by the state and the county into east Williamson County.”
