On August 29, Hays county, in partnership with the city of Buda held their final open house in Buda for local residents to review and comment on the feasibility study to design and construct an extension of SH 45 between IH-35 and FM 1626.
The first open house took place on June 15, 2023, when the study was introduced to the public. A second open house was held on Dec. 7, 2023, to share preliminary route concepts and gather public feedback. Input from these sessions has been used to further develop the preliminary route concept.
The feasibility study explores closing a critical “gap” in the SH 45 highway system, connecting SH 45 SW in Hays and Travis counties to SH 45, east of Interstate 35. The proposed extension would pass through several large tracts of land in Buda and Manchaca.
