45SE Interim Schematic (12.7 mb)
Central Texas is growing and with that comes a renewed commitment to the values
that Central Texans prize. Keeping pace with the regional demands for
transportation is a critical component for the quality of life we enjoy. SH
45SE is the result of a public need for safe and efficient highways.
The SH 45SE Turnpike will link I-35 at FM 1327, north of Buda,
TX, to the junction of SH 130 and US 183 near Mustang Ridge. The 7.4 mile long
facility will be constructed as a four-lane roadway with controlled access and
a wide center median. As traffic warrants and funding is identified, the
facility could be expanded to handle future transportation needs.
Grade-separated interchanges at Interstate 35, North Turnersville Road, FM
1625, and State Highway 130/US 183 are included in the "Interim" construction.
A future interchange is planned at Wright Road. On April 26, 2007, the Texas Transportation Commission approved a contract with Balfour Beatty Infrastructure, Inc./T.J. Lambrecht Construction, Inc. for construction of SH 45SE. Construction began in mid-July 2007 with work at the west end of the project around I-35. SH 45SE is expected to be complete by early 2009.
SH 45 SE will be opening soon, please check back for more details.
