Bagdad Road and San Gabriel Parkway traffic signal
This project will add a fourth traffic signal to the intersection to help control eastbound traffic from the Devine Lake subdivision. A contract was awarded to G. Carter Construction on Dec. 3. The project's notice to proceed is on hold until the traffic signal pole is delivered, said Ellen Maas, the city's capital improvement program manager, at a March 4 Leander City Council meeting.

CR 290 at Hero Way West intersection
This project added left- and right-turn lanes on CR 290, which allows westbound cars to turn onto Hero Way West when there is another vehicle at the intersection, per the city. Leander City Council approved a construction contract with Austin Underground Inc. on Nov. 5. The project was substantially completed Feb. 24, Maas said. City Engineer Wayne Watts said further widening of CR 290 will be necessary in the future because the county road crosses through Travis and Williamson counties but could eventually become a city road.
Cost: $236,701.50
