US 190 Feasibility Study

implementation

TxDOT and the Killeen-Temple Metropolitan Planning Organization are conducting a feasibility study to explore options for upgrading, and possibly relocating, US 190 between FM 1670 (west of I-35) and the Rogers Relief Route north of the City of Rogers in Bell County. US 190 is a major east-west highway that serves Belton, Temple and Rogers. At the request of local officials, the Killeen-Temple Metropolitan Planning Organization (KTMPO), with support from the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) is conducting a feasibility study to explore options for upgrading, and possibly relocating, US 190 between FM 1670 (west of I-35) and the Rogers Relief Route north of the City of Rogers in Bell County. KTMPO will investigate creating a more efficient connection to serve the community and improve local mobility. The project team, in coordination with a Working Group comprised of city and county officials and local organizations, will develop project goals and objectives, assess environmental and engineering constraints, and identify preliminary route options. With input from the community and additional technical analysis, the project team will refine and recommend route options for further study. These route options would be the starting point for any future phases of project development, including an environmental study, should the project advance.
