Widen road and add lanes on blanco RD.

The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) awarded Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) $4.36 million under the Highway Planning and Construction program (CFDA 20.205) on August 4, 2025, to fund roadway expansion and multimodal infrastructure improvements on Blanco Road in Bexar County, Texas. The project involves widening the existing two-lane roadway to a four-lane divided facility with a raised median, while incorporating pedestrian and bicycle accommodations including bike lanes, sidewalks, and curbs. Associated drainage improvements will also be constructed to support the expanded roadway corridor extending from the initial location in Bexar County through Borgfeld to the Bexar/Comal County line.

This formula grant supports highway reconstruction and safety improvement activities consistent with the Federal-aid Highway Program's authorization under the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act. As the state's designated transportation authority, TxDOT administers the funds according to established state and local transportation planning priorities, with oversight by the FHWA division office in Texas. The project scope reflects the program's emphasis on multimodal transportation network development and pedestrian/bicycle facility enhancement alongside core highway infrastructure improvements.
