BRYAN – The TxDOT Bryan District is studying the future I-14 Central Texas Corridor from Rogers in Bell County to Huntsville in Walker County. This Study will determine the feasibility of a corridor and route for a roadway that meets interstate standards. The I-14 Central Texas Corridor Study will align with ongoing statewide I-14 development and planning efforts to ensure consistency and continuity of the interstate corridor from west Texas to Louisiana. Additionally, the Study will include evaluation of the recently designated future Loop I-214 around the Cities of Bryan and College Station, which is anticipated to co-align with I-14 as it passes through the Bryan-College Station area. In Fall 2023, TxDOT held the first round of open houses and obtained feedback from local communities within the Study area.

TxDOT is hosting a second round of six in-person open houses with a virtual option to introduce potential opportunity areas for the future I-14 corridor and gather feedback from local communities throughout the Study area. All six open houses will contain the same Study information and exhibits.

In-person participants are welcome to come and go any time from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. and will be able to review project materials, ask questions of TxDOT staff and/or consultants, and leave written comments. Online participants will be able to view the same information provided at the in-person meetings.

The latest information is that a multi unit apartment had caught fire and was partly destroyed. We are not aware of the number of occupants that may have been displaced at this time. The fire is out, and an investigation is under way.

Severe thret of damaging winds of 60-80mph and large hail will be increasing over the area this afternoon (1-7pm) as storms in N TX move into the region or redevelop along leading outflow boundaries.

At this time, nothing suggests an event like the May 16 derecho…but wind damage will be possible in the stronger storms.

Additional storms will be possible tonight…but there is uncertainty in how that may play out.

Pay attention to the weather this afternoon and have multiple ways to receive warnings.

We have a line of storms approaching now to the W/NW. These storms are packing a front line winds of between 50 and 70mph. The areas circled are packing the strongest winds.

This system has already dropped a brief tornado and straight line winds that have severely damaged parts of the Temple area.

Hopefully, the majority of this one will pass by to the north.
