Install/upgrade roadway lighting on SH 249.

The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) awarded a Formula Grant of $385,667.87 to the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) on August 7, 2025, under the Highway Planning and Construction program (CFDA 20.205). The project involves the installation and upgrade of roadway lighting on State Highway 249 from FM 1774 to south of Spring Creek. Specifically, the work includes replacement of high mast fixtures with LED (light-emitting diode) fixtures along this highway corridor in Texas.

This project aligns with the Highway Planning and Construction program's mandate to support safety improvements and infrastructure preservation on public roadways. The LED fixture upgrade represents a modernization initiative that improves roadway visibility and safety while potentially reducing operational costs through energy-efficient technology. As the designated state transportation agency for Texas, TxDOT administers the project in accordance with established federal-aid highway procedures and environmental compliance requirements.
