C. Bud Stockton project

According to the county, the C. Bud Stockton Loop extension project extends FM 487/C. Bud Stockton Loop by constructing two lanes of a future four-lane roadway connecting County Road 305 to FM 487/C. Bud Stockton Loop with turn lanes.

In addition to giving drivers a reason to stay off 35, the county said the 1.78-mile-line project will improve connectivity to the north and ease congestion on FM 487.
