Parker County Celebrates Road Project

 

Parker County officially opened the first segment of the Ric Williamson Memorial Highway (RWMH), the largest of the 35 projects comprising the Parker County Transportation Bond Program approved by voters in 2008. The county celebrated with a ribbon-cutting ceremony on Jan. 27.

Parker County Judge Mark Riley and Weatherford Mayor Dennis Hooks look on as Mary Ann Williamson, her daughter and grandson cut the ribbon to officially open the Ric Williamson Memorial Highway on Jan. 27.

The RWMH will be completed in five sections comprised of three road segments and two intersections. The recently completed section will extend south from FM 51 through the FM 920 intersection. In subsequent project segments, the RWMH will extend to an intersection with U.S. 180 and further south to an interchange with IH-20. The five segments will form the northwest quadrant of a loop around the city of Weatherford.

The $26.44 million project broke ground in April 2011. With phase one of the project now open to the public, construction continues on phases two and three. The entire 5.6-mile project is expected to be finished in early 2014.

The highway was named in honor of Ric Williamson, a Parker County resident who served as the chairman of the Texas Department of Transportation’s Highway Commission. He also represented Parker County in the Texas House of Representatives from 1985 to 1999. Williamson passed away in December 2007. H
