Hays County is actively undertaking the Jacob’s Well Road Curve Improvement Project to enhance safety and alignment on the roadway.

Scope of Work: Realignment of the existing two-lane facility, building two 11-foot travel lanes, two 4-foot shoulders, driveways, drainage improvements, pavement markings, signage, and permanent vegetation.

Timeline: Construction is underway and anticipated to be completed in Winter 2027, weather permitting.

Impact: Drivers should expect local delays and plan for extra travel time while crews are working.

Due to high wildfire risks from dry and hot weather.

Hays County has an active burn ban in place.

The restriction went into effect on August 11, 2026, and remains active through September 29, 2026.

Prohibitions:

All outdoor burning, including brush piles, burn barrels, and campfires (unless specifically permitted).
