Federal, State and local officials will join the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) to celebrate the expansion of the newly-constructed section of FM 2978. The 2.3 mile project stretches from  FM 2920 to the Montgomery County Line.  The project replaces the former two lane asphalt roadway with a four lane concrete roadway, a center turn lane, bike route and overpass over Huffsmith-Kuykendahl. 
 
The $18.5 million construction contract was awarded to Smith and Co. and began in October 2009.  Over a third of the funding came from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA).
