The Morning Impact — your neighborhood's most important stories, delivered every morning.
Wondering what’s behind lane changes or detours? Multiple transportation projects are reshaping the flow of traffic in Cedar Park this month, ranging from intersection designs to new pedestrian infrastructure.
Check out these transportation updates from city, county and state sources:
Upcoming projects
1. Lakeline Boulevard shared-use path
Project: A 10-foot paved shared-use path is planned along Lakeline Boulevard between New Hope Drive and Little Elm Trail to improve pedestrian and bicycle connectivity.
Update: Design is 90% complete. Plans have been revised to modify an existing roadway bridge rather than construct a new pedestrian bridge, with final design and permitting ongoing.
2. RM 1431 road and intersection improvements
Project: Road improvements are planned from New Hope Drive to Bagdad Road and also at the intersection of RM 1431/Whitestone Boulevard and 183A Toll, both in an attempt to improve traffic flow and enhance safety for drivers, pedestrians and cyclists.
Update: The project is moving into preliminary engineering and design of the intersection. The road improvements schematic has been approved by TxDOT and is awaiting funding approval and environmental clearance.
Ongoing projects
3. New Hope Drive expansion
Project: Traffic changes are underway as the city expands New Hope Drive from four to six lanes and introduces an innovative intersection at 183A Toll.
Update: Construction is active between Block House Drive and CR 180, with a traffic shift involving the left turn lanes from 183A onto New Hope Drive. Design work continues on the western segment toward Lakeline Boulevard.
4. 183A Toll frontage roads
Project: This project will add two 3-mile lanes on either side of 183A Toll from East Whitestone Boulevard to Avery Ranch Boulevard as well as a shared-use path connecting the existing US 183 trailhead.
Update: Construction is underway on both the north and southbound frontage roads.
5. Anderson Mill Road resurfacing
Project: The city of Cedar Park is resurfacing both sides of Anderson Mill Road from Cypress Creek to RM 2769.
Update: Construction is currently underway.
