Town hall meeting set for relocation of US 190

Submitted by Cameron1 on

A town hall meeting is set over the relocation of a major Bell County highway. 

The Killeen-Temple Metropolitan Planning Organization and Texas Department of Transportation will host the town hall meeting at 5 p.m. today, Dec. 18, at Rogers High School Cafeteria.

The organizations are seeking feedback from residents regarding proposals to move portions of US190/TX36 from its current route. While a number of proposals are on the board, one would create a 4-lane bypass that would go around the town of Rogers. That bypass would begin in Heidenheimer and rejoin the highway at the Milam County line.

Nearly $63 million in funding is already set aside for the project. Those that wish to have their voice heard or want to ask questions on the proposal should be at this meeting.

Those that cannot attend can send comments through the website KTMPO.org.
