Rockwall County's growth is outstripping its transportation infrastructure's capacity to keep pace.To make it right, the North Central Texas Coalition of Governments and the Texas Department of Transportation – along with county officials – are planning some serious overhauls of the highway system that courses through the county.What is the history of this project? It goes back a good while. The saga begins in 2002, when Gov. Rick Perry directed TxDOT to develop a statewide network of transportation improvements – covering many modes of transportation – to meet the growth demands of the 21st century; and those demands have been stupendous in communities throughout North and Northeast Texas, as city and county officials can attest.
