Drivers rally for Bandera extension of Highway 173
Good roads advocates led by the Kerrville Chamber urge a counterclockwise expansion from Highway 173 through Medina and Bandera counties to Bandera and over Bandera Pass. The piece urges local action to secure hearings, linkages to Mexico and Corpus Christi, and a western extension via Leakey to connect with No 83. It warns Hondo risks losing growth if 173 bypasses the town and argues for widening North Front Street to meet the Bandera route.
