Traffic and safety woes in the Lake Travis area, as well as the surrounding Texas Hill Country, continue to be a top concern in 2019. Last year, it seemed like road enhancements were visible all along the 23.2-mile stretch of 620, from SH 71 in Bee Cave to I-35 in Round Rock.
But, of course, there’s a lot more on the way. Today TxDOT broke ground on the road widening project for 2222 from Ribelin Ranch Drive to Bonaventure Drive.

‘Twas days before Christmas, when all through the formerly organized house,
every child was stirring, hopefully without louse — yes, tea tree oil works.
SUVs were swerving in the Target parking lot without care,
in hopes the discounted Nintendo Switch still would be there.
Shoppers were frantic, in need of anti-anxiety meds,
while visions of Happy Hour cocktails danced in their heads.
And Mama in her Lululemon with her rose gold yoga mat,
got stuck in line at JuiceLand, so she scrolled Insta and sat.
Mama took a moment to check her holiday card list,
fearing there was a friend she might’ve missed.
