Support continues to grow for planned safety improvements along Texas 46 West, with a national motorcycle safety organization and State Rep. Wes Virdell both urging the Texas Department of Transportation to move quickly on the project.

In separate letters sent within days of each other to TxDOT Executive Director Marc Williams, the Motorcycle Safety Foundation and Virdell called for the immediate implementation of planned safety upgrades on Texas 46 between State Highway 16 in Bandera County and Interstate 10 in Boerne.

The proposed improvements include a 4-foot centerline buffer, centerline rumble strips and Jersey barriers at Webster's Corner, a stretch of highway that has been the site of numerous serious, even fatal, crashes.
