Trans Texas Corridor and Waller County

Currently the State of Texas is planning a toll road project dubbed the "Trans Texas Corridor" that will run from south Texas to north east Texas. The Draft Environmental Impact Study from TxDOT places the route through the center of Waller County. We have provided maps showing the current preferred / recommended route. The maps are 11 x 17 in size and will require Adobe Acrobat to view.
