The Victoria Metropolitan Planning Organization collaborates with the Texas Department of Transportation to widen Farm-to-Market Road 236. Opinions among residents differ; some are excited about the safer five-lane highway, while others worry about displacements. This project, part of the Victoria 2045 expansion plan, aims to accommodate the city’s growth. The plan entails a five-lane undivided highway with a continuous left turn lane and ample shoulders. It’s a $30 million dollar endeavor, funded by state, federal, and Highway Trust Fund contributions. Work starts in fall of 2026.
