ahead of the campus’ opening in 2026. The area is expected to see heightened traffic as Legacy Ranch will serve around 2,500 students once it is built out, Snell said. The new road’s impact goes beyond the district as drivers can now travel directly from US 183 to Ronald Reagan Boulevard, Williamson County Precinct 2 Commissioner Cynthia Long said. “Those are two of our major north-south road- ways, so being able to easily connect between the two roads makes things easier for the traveling public,” she said.
Detailed design for the Hero Way road improvements project in Leander is now scheduled to wrap up this summer after initially being planned for completion by the end of 2023. The gist Phase 1 of the project—a three-lane frontage road from 183A to Garey Park and realignment to RM 2243—is anticipated to begin this fall, officials said.
