This project will design improvements to Schuelke Road where it meets SH 21 to enhance safety and mobility as this area of Caldwell County continues to grow. Currently, Schuelke Road connects to SH 21 at an angle that limits sight distance.

This project will create a new connection between Schuelke Road and SH 21, realigning the current angled intersection to form a perpendicular T-intersection. The final alignment for this new connection has not been determined.

IMPROVEMENTS

• Realigning the roadway to meet SH 21 at a new perpendicular T-intersection

• Widening the roadway to include two-foot shoulders on both sides

COST: $460,000

PURPOSE

• Improve visibility at the intersection

• Enhance roadway safety

• Improve mobility

RIGHT OF WAY

This project will require additional right of way to complete construction. Once design is underway, a better estimate of right-of-way needs will be determined. Funding for right-of-way acquisition and construction has not been identified.

SCHEDULE

DESIGN: 2025 — 2027

The design process will include evaluations of current traffic, drainage, and environmental features will be evaluated, along with community input. Design is expected to be completed by early 2027. Timelines for right-of-way acquisition and construction have not been determined.
