Williamson County is building a new controlled-access roadway from SH 130 up to I-35 at Jarrell, in eight segments. Two are open to traffic, one is under construction and the county is acquiring right-of-way on two more right now. National ROW fights to maximize every dollar you're owed.

About the East Wilco Highway Project

East Wilco Highway is a new controlled-access roadway connecting south SH 130 to north I-35 through Williamson County's Precincts 3 and 4. Formerly known as the Southeast Loop and Corridor E, the project is being delivered in eight segments and funded by the voter-approved 2019 and 2023 Road Bonds — requiring right-of-way acquisition from private landowners along the corridor. This is a Williamson County project, not a TxDOT project.

Where Each Segment Stands

Williamson County publishes a construction report every two weeks, but it is 21 pages of tables and it never says which segment your land is on. This is the same information, read straight out of the county's own documents and kept current. Verified October 20, 2026.

The county uses two numbering systems and never explains the difference. If your letter says “Corridor E5,” it means Segments 7 and 8.

How we built this. The alignment was digitized from the published curve tables in Williamson County's own design schematics for Corridor E4 and Corridor E5, and checked against the county's published stationing — 36,999 ft of published chainage measures 36,841 ft along the drawn line. The section open to traffic, the town locations and the county outlines come from OpenStreetMap and the US Census. Status comes from the county's Corridor Program construction report of September 25, 2026 and county news releases of October 8, 2026.

What it can’t tell you. Williamson County has not published an alignment in coordinate form for Segments 3 to 5, so nothing is drawn through that stretch. Everything shown is centerline, not right-of-way — this map cannot tell you whether your tract is affected or how much of it is taken. That takes the county’s right-of-way parcel plat, and getting it is one of the first things we do. Every source schematic is stamped preliminary and not for construction.

What Their Offer May Miss

The agency's appraisers work for the agency — not for you. Their initial offer routinely omits significant categories of compensation you may be entitled to under Texas law.

Rapidly Appreciating Land Value

Williamson County land has appreciated dramatically in recent years. The county's appraisal date may lag actual market conditions, especially in fast-growing areas near SH 130 and I-35.

Development Potential Loss

Land near the new East Wilco Highway interchanges often has significant development potential. If a taking eliminates your ability to develop a subdivision, commercial site, or industrial tract, that lost potential is fully compensable.

Remainder Tract Damage

Odd-shaped or landlocked remainder parcels after a taking may be worth significantly less than before — especially for developable tracts near the new corridor.

Agricultural Income Loss

Ranches, farms, and hay operations along the corridor have active agricultural income that the county's offer may discount or entirely ignore.

Access to Highway Frontage

Properties losing direct access to East Wilco Highway or adjacent roads may suffer severe access damage that must be independently quantified and compensated.

Improvements & Structures

Residential structures, barns, equipment sheds, fences, irrigation systems, and other improvements in the take area must be accurately replaced or compensated at full replacement cost.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is East Wilco Highway a toll road?

No. East Wilco Highway is a free, controlled-access roadway being built by Williamson County, not a toll facility. ROW is still acquired under Texas eminent domain procedures, and you have the same rights to negotiate and contest the offered compensation.

My land is in a rapidly developing part of Williamson County — will the county account for that?

Not necessarily. The county's appraisers value your land as of the appraisal date using comparable sales. In fast-moving Williamson County markets, their data may lag. An independent appraisal can capture current market realities and development potential.

What if my property has future development potential?

Development potential is a legitimate and compensable element of land value. Williamson County's appraisal may use raw land comparables that don't reflect your property's highest and best use. An independent appraisal can make this case.

Is National ROW a law firm?

No. National ROW is a right-of-way consulting firm, not a law firm. We do not provide legal advice. We help landowners understand their options, quantify damages, and negotiate with Williamson County.

Which East Wilco Highway segments are still active?

As of October 9, 2026: Segments 1 and 2 are open to traffic, Segment 3 is under construction with a Spring 2027 finish, and Segments 5 and 6 are in design with right-of-way acquisition underway — 10 of 27 parcels on Segment 5 and 3 of 19 on Segment 6 are acquired or under a Possession and Use Agreement. Segments 4, 7 and 8 are in planning with no funded construction date. See the segment status table above.

What is a Possession and Use Agreement, and should I sign one?

A Possession and Use Agreement, or PUA, lets Williamson County take possession of the right-of-way and start construction before the compensation question is settled. The county's own construction reports track progress as parcels "acquired or under a PUA," so nearly every affected owner is asked to sign one. It is not a settlement and signing it does not mean you have agreed to the county's number, but it does give up leverage on timing. Have it reviewed before you sign anything.

Is East Wilco Highway a TxDOT project?

No. East Wilco Highway is a Williamson County project, funded by the voter-approved 2019 and 2023 county Road Bonds. Some pages online describe it as a TxDOT project, which is incorrect. TxDOT is involved only where the corridor touches a state facility, such as the intersection with SH 29 and the environmental reviews on some segments.

What is the difference between Corridor E5 and Segment 8?

Williamson County uses two numbering systems. Corridors E1 through E5 are the planning and schematic studies. Segments 1 through 8 are the construction projects. They do not line up one to one. Corridor E5 runs from the Ronald Reagan extension to I-35 at CR 305, which covers Segments 7 and 8. If the letter you received says Corridor E5, your land is in Segment 7 or Segment 8.

Which East Wilco Highway segment is my land on?

Segment 1 runs SH 130 to CR 137 and Segment 2 runs CR 137 to CR 404 — both are open to traffic. Segment 3 is CR 404 to US 79 and is under construction. Segment 4 is US 79 to Chandler Road. Segment 5 is Chandler Road to SH 29. Segment 6 is SH 29 to FM 971. Segment 7 is FM 971 to CR 330. Segment 8 is CR 330 to CR 305 at I-35. The segment status map on this page shows the corridor against the local road network.

The county filed a condemnation resolution. What happens now?

A condemnation resolution is the Commissioners Court authorizing the County Attorney to file an eminent domain suit on named parcels. It does not end the negotiation. Under Texas Property Code Chapter 21 the county must still have made a bona fide offer, three special commissioners will hear the case and set an award, and either side can object to that award and go to trial. Getting an independent valuation in front of the commissioners is the point at which the number usually moves.
