The proposed I-14 Central Texas Corridor could bring a major new interstate through communities and rural properties stretching approximately 125 miles from Rogers in Bell County to Huntsville in Walker County. TxDOT is currently studying five conceptual routes, including routes through the Cameron, Hearne, Bryan-College Station, Navasota, Madisonville, and Huntsville areas. No final route has been selected, but the project is moving through the planning and routing process.
For landowners, this could mean much more than a new road on a map. The I-14 Central Texas Corridor can divide a ranch or tract of land, remove homes or improvements, affect agricultural uses, and future development plans.

Although the project is still in its early routing stage, this is an important time for landowners to pay attention. If TxDOT eventually seeks to take a part of your property, do not assume the government’s initial offer accounts for everything you stand to lose. An experienced eminent domain attorney can review the proposed taking and appraisal to determine whether the compensation being offered reflects the full impact on your property.
