2. Southwest Bypass and Wolf Ranch Parkway construction

The construction of the Southwest Bypass and the extension of Wolf Ranch Parkway is expected to break ground this spring. Georgetown voters approved funding for the project as part of a $105 million road bond in May 2015. City Council approved a construction contract with Jordan Foster Construction for the project during its Feb. 23 meeting. The council also approved an interlocal agreement with Williamson County for the construction of the county’s portion of the Southwest Bypass from Leander Road to I-35. Design work is underway for the county’s portion.

3. FM 1460 expansion

Construction to widen FM 1460 from Quail Valley Drive in Georgetown to just north of University Boulevard in Round Rock is underway. The project, which broke ground in October, will realign a section of the roadway east of the current roadway at Quail Valley Drive and intersect at Texstar Drive and High Tech Drive and will then reconnect with the existing FM 1460 alignment at SE Inner Loop. The remaining section of the project will continue along the existing FM 1460 roadway. Some speed limits in the area have been changed in the work zone, and drivers are encouraged to use caution in the area. The Texas Department of Transportation is overseeing the project’s construction.
