Community Corridor | FM 1431: Toll 183A to Cottonwood Creek Trail

Imagining FM 1431 as anything
different from the hub of activity
that encompasses this corridor today
may be difficult. However, until
1987, the roadway was paved from
IH 35 in Round Rock and stopped at
Cottonwood Creek Trail. Winding gravel
roads led the way to large acreage
neighborhoods to the north and west.
Today, FM 1431 in Cedar Park is marked
by a large retail development and
healthcare facility, with more projects
lined up for the coming months.
Development
