The city of San Marcos and Hays County are partnering on the improvements to McCarty Lane which will become a part of an eastern segment of Loop 110 connecting Interstate 35 to Texas 123.

McCarty will remain open during construction but caution is recommended as ongoing road work and traffic controls will occur.  The public is encouraged to seek alternate routes when possible.
