Funding for the Highway 334 bridge project on Cedar Creek Lake was approved today, according to State Rep. Lance Gooden.

The approval came during the Texas Transportation Commission meeting in Austin.

“While I won’t rest until I see dirt moving, I’m more confident than ever that we are back on track to finally get this done,” Gooden said. “I appreciate Senator Nichols and lake area leaders, especially Jo Ann Hanstrom, for their diligence and support as we’ve worked to make this happen.”

State Rep. Lance Gooden and State Sen. Robert Nichols sent separate letters to the chairman this month ahead of the upcoming Transportation Commission meeting.
