The Texas Department of Transportation held a ribbon cutting along with state, county and local officials for the culmination of the FM 110 North project that now creates an eastern loop around Interstate 35 in San Marcos.
“We celebrate the completion of the final portion of a roadway that will transform transportation in Hays County,” Tx-DOT Austin District Engineer Tucker Ferguson said. “As you drive through here you can see the growth and the development, and this roadway addresses the transportation needs of this region, providing an alternative to I-35.”
The road way has been a long time in the making. In fact, Hays County Commissioner Precinct 1 Debbie Gonzales Ingalsbe said she remembered her father discussing plans for a loop east of I-35 when he was on Commissioners Court in the 1980s. Mayor Jane Hughson said she remembered her own father discussing the plans as far back as the 50s and 60s.
