Contractors previously wrapped up pipeline work on Dec. 4; however, the lines failed when testing began.
Two-minute impact
A portion of FM 969, between SH 71 and Blakey Lane, will be closed nightly between 8 p.m.-5 a.m. while utility contractors work in the area until Jan. 27.
Detours will once again be set up along Edward Burleson Lane and Duff Drive.
Some context
Workers will be connecting areas north of SH 71 to the new wastewater treatment plant that came online in May 2024.
The biggest area to be connected so far is around Hyperloop Plaza—home to several companies owned by Elon Musk.
In September, Bastrop city and county officials confirmed with Community Impact that infrastructure updates are needed to accommodate the addition of Musk’s social media company X—formerly known as Twitter.
The relocation of X will mark the fifth Bastrop-based company owned by Musk.
