West county farmers seek rapid road plan via Keys Crossing
A Northwest and Richland Springs delegation urged the Commissioners Court to push a county wide road program. They propose leaving state highway 74 west of Richland Springs, building a graveled north route via Holt to Keys Crossing on the Colorado River, connecting to a Brownwood road. They want the state to take over the route as a state highway and to hard surface the entire 74 corridor through precinct two, plus funding for lateral roads. The San Saba to Brownwood route could cut distance by about 10 miles, but Regency bridge remains out of service.
