Traffic boom along Highway 225 boosts local economy
Heavy traffic on Highway 225, now 30 000 to 40 000 vehicles daily, reflects a growing economy. Shell and Diamond Shamrock expansions fuel thousands of construction jobs, with 500 permanent positions at the Shell complex. A $2 million Texas Highway Commission upgrade is underway, including widening to three lanes and new computerized signals, with nine months of work starting next spring.
