Several projects to improve Milam County highways are either underway or in the planning stages. Milam County is part of the Bryan District of the Texas Department of Transportation. The principal projects are:
Widening of Texas 36 from East of the Bell County line to South of Milano. This will become a four lanes separated by a median.
A northern by-pass to relieve congestion on US 79 and widening to four lanes with a median from US 77, east of Rockdale, to Hearn.
Each of these are subdivided into phases and each is at a different stage of planning / execution. To see the status for each phase, click here.
