TxDOT NOTIFYING RESIDENTS WITHIN RANGE OF CLOVERLEAF IMPROVEMENT PROJECT
TxDOT has begun notifying residents in the area of its conceptual planning for Highway 290 cloverleaf improvements.
Letters are now going out to property owners in Brenham, notifying them if their property sits in or near the study area of the project. The letters also contain a study corridor map, outlining the location of the study area.
TxDOT representatives met with Brenham City Councilmembers and Washington County Commissioners on March 21st to showcase and discuss its concepts for changes to the cloverleaf. The project is intended to improve safety, reduce congestion, maintain connectivity and provide statewide and local mobility.
At that meeting, local officials seemed to gravitate toward the second option presented, a southern direct connection, which would create a connector south of the current cloverleaf with continuous flow for Highway 290.
Officials at the meeting presented a tentative startup date for construction in 2025. According to TxDOT’s online project tracker, the project is estimated to cost $50 million.
Project information is also available at the TxDOT Bryan District Office at 2591 North Earl Rudder Freeway, or the Brenham Area Office at 1821 Highway 105.
