Williamson County is starting construction work on CR 401 from US 79 to north of CR 404 in Taylor. The CR 401 Reconstruction project will tie CR 401 into US 79. The project also includes expanding the existing two-lane CR 401 to a four-lane roadway in order to provide more capacity for vehicles to safely travel in the area. The project includes constructing a bridge over Mustang Creek and a cul-de-sac at the south end of the road where it borders the Samsung property.

The project was designed by HNTB. The contractor is James Construction Group, and construction is anticipated to be completed in summer 2023. The project cost is $12,673,200.94 and is being funded with voter-approved 2019 Road Bonds.

“Traffic on CR 401 will increase dramatically due to construction of the new Samsung facility, so improvements to this road are a priority in order to increase capacity and safety,” said Precinct 4 Commissioner Russ Boles.

Information on the project is available on the website. Sign up to receive project updates by emailing roads@wilco.org with CR 401 in the subject line.
