Widen road and add lanes on blanco RD.

The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) awarded a Formula Grant totaling $39.5 million to the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) on August 4, 2025, under the Highway Planning and Construction program (CFDA 20.205). The grant funds the expansion and improvement of Blanco Road in Bexar County, Texas, extending from the county line to the Bexar/Comal County boundary. The project will convert the existing two-lane roadway into a four-lane divided highway with a raised median, incorporating bicycle lanes, sidewalks, curbs, and improved drainage infrastructure.

This transportation infrastructure improvement project represents a substantial investment in highway capacity expansion and multimodal transportation enhancements in the San Antonio metropolitan area. As the state's designated transportation agency, TxDOT will manage the design, construction, and oversight of the widening project, which aligns with the Highway Planning and Construction program's core mission of supporting highway construction, preservation, and improvements across the United States. The project scope, which includes dedicated bicycle and pedestrian facilities alongside highway expansion, reflects current federal transportation policy priorities for comprehensive multimodal transportation network development.
