Learning to drive in Hearne

Hearne is an incorporated Robertson County city with one of the county's most complex transportation environments. US 79, SH 6, US 190, FM 485, FM 391, freight trucks, railroad infrastructure, active construction, regional commuters, and long-distance traffic all come together around the city.

For beginning drivers, Hearne's strongest local lesson is early lane and route planning around multiple major highways and railroad crossings.

Driving in Hearne

Important local roads include:

  • US 190
  • FM 485
  • FM 391
  • Downtown streets
  • Railroad crossings

Primary Local Driving Topic: US 79 Little Brazos River Construction

TxDOT is actively constructing improvements on US 79 at the Little Brazos River outside Hearne.

Construction began in early 2025.

The approximately 1.5-mile project includes:

  • Replacement of the Little Brazos River bridge
  • Widening US 79 to four lanes
  • A striped center median
  • Added shoulders
  • Extension of the wider highway west of Hearne toward FM 50

Construction-Zone Driving

Students may encounter:

  • Lane shifts
  • Concrete barriers
  • Work trucks
  • Temporary pavement markings
  • Reduced speeds
  • Narrow travel areas

Students should increase following distance and follow current markings.

US 79

Students should practice:

  • Higher-speed traffic control
  • Commercial-truck spacing
  • Rural intersection judgment
  • Lane selection
  • Long following distance

US 79 at FM 2549

The source also identifies a US 79 project near FM 2549 and Union Pacific railroad infrastructure.

Students should focus on:

  • Early lane selection
  • Railroad awareness
  • Temporary signs
  • Turning traffic

SH 6 and US 190

SH 6/US 190 is another defining Hearne corridor.

SH 6 is part of:

  • Texas Highway Freight Network
  • Texas Highway Trunk System
  • Hurricane evacuation network

Students should expect:

  • Freight trucks
  • Regional commuters
  • Higher speeds
  • Long stopping distances
  • Evacuation traffic

Hearne Relief Route Study

TxDOT is conducting a feasibility study for a possible SH 6/US 79 relief route around Hearne.

The study considers the interaction of:

  • US 79
  • US 190
  • SH 6
  • FM 485
  • FM 391
  • Union Pacific Railroad

The Relief Route Is Not Built

This is a feasibility study.

Future SH 6/US 190 Widening

The source identifies future widening from the Hearne city limit south toward OSR with an FY 2030-2035 letting range.

This is future work, not current full construction.

I-14 Planning

Current 2026 TxDOT work includes the I-14 Central Texas Corridor Study.

Railroad Crossing Awareness

Union Pacific infrastructure is a major local transportation factor.

Students should:

  • Obey flashing signals and gates
  • Never drive around a lowered gate
  • Never stop on tracks
  • Enter only when there is enough room to clear
  • Expect queues near crossings

Freight Trucks

Students should:

  • Leave more following distance
  • Avoid blind spots
  • Expect wide turns
  • Brake predictably
  • Avoid cutting closely in front

Hurricane Evacuation Traffic

Because SH 6 is a hurricane evacuation route, students may encounter unusually heavy traffic during coastal emergencies.

Hearne Commercial Driver License Office

DPS facilities records identify:

12511 Airport Drive Hearne, TX

as the Hearne Commercial Driver License Office.

Because it is specifically labeled as a commercial Driver License Office, families seeking ordinary Class C learner-license services should verify whether their specific transaction is handled there.

Do not automatically treat every CDL office as a full-service Class C licensing office.
