📰About FM 487
TxDOT District: Austin is preparing to rehabilitate a section of FM 487 in Florence, Texas, bringing the roadway to 4R criteria for an urban section. The project, filed under the name Csj: 1201-02-026, covers approximately 20,000 square feet of road surface along the stretch from College Avenue to SH 95 Bypass. This new construction work is estimated to cost $231,370, translating to a cost of $12 per square foot.
Project Scope and Timeline
The scope of work focuses on the rehabilitation of the existing road to meet specific urban standards. TDLR completed the plan review process in May 2025, marking the project's status as Review Complete. Construction is scheduled to begin in August 2026, with the entire project scheduled to finish in July 2027. This timeline spans a build window of 340 days, which is longer than the median scheduled build window of 245 days observed in other Williamson County new construction filings.
Frank Fonseca serves as the registered accessibility specialist for this project. The work is funded through public funds, public land, or as a Federally funded roadway project, reflecting its infrastructure nature. The estimated cost of $231,370 sits below the county median for new construction projects, which stands at $850,862. Similarly, the $12 per square foot cost is significantly below the county median of $110 per square foot, typical for large-scale roadway rehabilitation rather than building construction.
TxDOT District: Austin is the owner of record for this initiative, one of several projects in Williamson County. Other registered projects in the immediate area include renovations at Bastrop State Park and new construction for an office community center. The project is located in ZIP code 76527, where the U.S. Census estimates a population of about 4,686 and a median household income of $83,533. The median owner-occupied home value in this area is $370,400, with housing predominantly owner-occupied.
Williamson County’s unemployment rate was 4 percent in August 2026, lower than a year earlier, providing context for the local labor market during the construction phase. The project’s registration with TDLR ensures compliance with state standards, and the completion of plan review in May 2025 cleared the path for the scheduled start in August 2026. The final delivery date remains July 2027, aligning with the initial filing expectations for this roadway improvement.
