The Texas Department of Transportation announced a $600 million highway safety and improvement effort including 644 projects across the state.

In 2003, voters gave the Texas Transportation Commission authority to issue up to $3 billion in bonds to pay for state highway improvement projects, all of which are safety related.
The first announced projects will pay for widening narrow two-lane roadways, installing barriers in the medians of divided highways, adding left turn lanes at highway intersections and building new overpasses around the state.
Ten new highway overpasses will improve traffic flow and reduce the number and severity of crashes. TxDOT will also install left turn lanes at 171 locations to reduce the number of rear-end crashes. Work on many of the projects is expected to be under way as early as next year.
