Cedar Park City Council approved a contractor for the construction of the Anderson Mill Road Phase 2 project at its Oct. 27 meeting.

The project involves widening the remaining two-lane sections to four lanes on Anderson Mill Road between Cypress Creek Road and Whitestone Boulevard, according to city documents. It also includes a new sidewalk, signal modifications, signage, a new curb and gutter, and drainage improvements.

In September, city staff received eight proposals from prospective contractors, which were then graded by a selection committee. Cash Construction Co. Inc. was ranked as the offeror that provides the best value to Cedar Park, according to the city.

Phase 2 of the Anderson Mill Road widening project will cost $7.7 million. It will be funded through the city's 2022 voter-approved bond program.

“I know this is exciting for everybody in my side of town,” Mayor Jim Penniman-Morin said at the meeting. “I think it’s going to be a great improvement.”
