The Texas Transportation Commission has approved higher speed limits for close to 1,500 miles of Interstate highways.
That includes I-45 going to 75 mph in Navarro, Freestone, Leon, Madison, and Walker counties.
TxDOT reports new signs will be posted in the next 60 to 90 days, or by the end of April. Until then, current speed limits will be enforced.
As for other highways, TxDOT is still conducting speed studies to consider future changes.
