Clifton Roundabout Project Budget Remains Undisclosed | The Locally Times

TxDOT Austin District records confirm a March 5, 2026, meeting for the Clifton roundabout project, but omit all financial details.

The budget for the SH 22 at Laguna Park Roundabout Project in Clifton remains undisclosed, despite a public meeting held on March 5, 2026. Records from the TxDOT Austin District confirm the meeting's date and the project's location and scope, but provide no financial information. ## Project Scope and Undisclosed Finances The March 5, 2026, public meeting for the Clifton roundabout project was conducted in a hybrid format, allowing both in-person and virtual attendance. The project involves constructing a roundabout at SH 22 at Laguna Park, with its scope extending from CR 1801 to the Hill County Line. While the TxDOT Austin District records detail the project's geographic scope and the meeting format, they do not include any information regarding its budget allocations, funding sources, or projected financial impacts. The absence of these specific financial details in public records means residents lack crucial information on the project's cost to taxpayers. The records do not specify who is responsible for the financial oversight and approval of the Clifton Roundabout Project, nor do they outline the project's full timeline or detailed scope beyond its location. This persistent lack of budgetary information for a public infrastructure project, even after a public meeting, raises questions about transparency and accountability in the use of public funds. Locally Times will continue to monitor public postings from the TxDOT Austin District for any disclosure of the Clifton roundabout project's budget and financial plans.
