Overview
The Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) Austin District is proposing to realign FM 973 in a new location between US 290 and SH 130 in east-central Travis County. The purpose of the proposed project is to improve mobility and connectivity, and provide additional roadway capacity to meet future traffic demands due to population growth. Various alignment alternatives have been evaluated with the goal of upgrading the existing FM 973 and realigning the roadway around the city of Manor. 
Proposed Improvements
- Extend for approximately 5.6 miles between US 290 and SH 130
- Consist of four travel lanes (two in each direction) separated by a grassy median, with turn lanes in various locations
- Include a shared-use path
- Include a typical right-of-way width of 200 feet
- Require between 71 and 122 acres of right of way
Anticipated Next Steps
- Summer 2022 – Public hearing to review the environmental study and present the latest proposed design for the
project - The project is not currently funded, and the project implementation is contingent on funding
