Box Canyon Road on TxDOT wish list to pave dirt link to Amistad Lake
Del Rio officials and residents push to upgrade 8.3 miles of Box Canyon and Amistad Acres dirt road to a recreation road linking U S Highway 90 to Box Canyon Marina and a new NPS boat ramp. They cite safety, 911 response times, rising bass tournaments and increased boating traffic as justification. A grade separation over railroad tracks would improve westbound train visibility and reduce delays.
