Burnet County and TxDOT received funding through its safety grant program to extend construction on U.S. 281 (seen here in February) to south of Texas 71 to widen existing lanes and shoulders and add a left-turn lane.
Special to The Highlander Safety improvements to U.S. 281, between Texas 71 and the Burnet County and Blanco County line, are being accelerated by a year, thanks to grant funding secured by the Texas Department of Transportation.
