Robert Wood, West Lake Hills city administrator, told City Council April 27 the start date for the Bee Caves Road construction—which will add a center turn lane between Walsh Tarlton Lane and Redbud Trail—has been delayed again.

Wood said he recently met with Texas Department of Transportation officials, who said engineers and designers are still working on final drawings for the construction and anticipate a start date of late June or early July.

He said TxDOT officials and contractors are meeting every other week to discuss the construction, and once roadwork begins, they will meet weekly.

Wood said TxDOT also hired an outside consultant for the public information office. He said the TxDOT public information officers and new consultant plan to launch a website geared towards updating citizens on the current road progress.

“There will be all sorts of ways for the public to interact with [TxDOT],” Mayor Linda Anthony said.

She said the project is estimated to take 28 months.

Wood said road improvements to Camp Craft Road are likely to occur in summer 2017. He said it was important that work ends in time for the start of the 2017-18 school year.
