The proposed $18 million bypass connector road project slated to improve Four Points traffic congestion along RM 620 and RM 2222 could be ready to for construction bids as early as summer 2018 for a possible completion by mid to late 2019, according to the Texas Department of Transportation.
“This project could go to bid by the summer of 2018… this is our best guess at this point,” said Bruce Byron, TxDOT project manager. “Construction… should take somewhere between 12 and 18 months before they’re finished.”

Brian and Shelle Pitman have had a big influence on the Four Points community. In the 19 years that they have lived here, they have raised three children, grown a successful start-up business that today has 450 employees, and volunteered for countless civic organizations.
Both from the small North Texas town of Sherman, Brian and Shelle met after finishing college – he at The University of Texas at Austin and she at the University of North Texas at Denton. They had both returned to Sherman to begin their professional careers. Brian went to work for a small title company and Shelle was a science teacher and coach at Sherman High School.
The couple married a few years later and will celebrate their 25th anniversary this year. In 1998, they moved to Steiner Ranch, still a very rural community at the time.
“When we moved to this area, the Four Points H-E-B had not even opened and the only school in the area was Steiner Ranch Elementary,” Brian said. “It has been amazing to watch how the community has grown and evolved during all of those years.”
