Anderson Mill Road is in the process of being expanded into a four-lane major arterial, which will create a main thoroughfare from US 183 to RM 620 and the growing communities of Cedar Park and Leander. The highlighted area from Spicewood Parkway to RM 620 includes a center turn lane and bicycle lanes on both sides. This project started in November 2007, and the estimated completion date is June 2008.
