For months, the Great State of Texas has been re-topping a portion of Highway 290 between Stonewall and Fredericksburg. Since this stretch of road is becoming known as the Texas wine corridor, I thought I’d give you a construction update.
Disclaimer: I’m the first to admit I’m not really the best person for this job because I drive by landmarks instead of mile markers but here goes.
It appeared to me today that construction between Hilmy Cellars and the Wildseed Farms is nearing completion. Yea! The surface of the road is nice and smooth, the lines are mostly in place and there was no construction equipment in sight. However. There are still about a zillion orange pylons in place and I can tell ya, when you drive through there at night, those pylons can be a little freaky. With the curves in the road. And the glowing. Now, I’m not saying it’ll remind you of a Stephen King novel like it did me but I will say the driving experience can only improve along those 3 miles of highway once the pylons have been moved.
Happy trails!
