Lovers Lane, Hoffman Road to receive road maintenance in Bastrop
An agreement between the city of Bastrop and Bastrop County has been made to continue the county’s maintenance work into the city limits. The city will purchase the material, and county workers will perform the maintenance work.
Work on Lovers Lane will begin once the county signs the agreement, Assistant City Manager Andres Rosales said at the March 26 City Council meeting. All of Hoffman Road will also be paved by the county.
Agnes Street expansion approved
Agnes Street will be converted from its existing two-lane design to a four-lane roadway from Seton Hospital Drive to Hwy. 304. The widening project will match the design of the road’s planned extension to Seton Hospital Drive.
Construction is expected to begin soon after the final design in April and projected to last 12-16 months.
