The city of Cedar Park is revamping the intersection of Cypress Creek Road and Lakeline Boulevard to better accommodate the 50,000 vehicles that use the intersection each day.

The project began June 18 and is expected to last until January, City Engineering Project Manager Garret Bonn said July 1.

When the project is finished the intersection will have new dual left-turn lanes on both sides of Cypress Creek, extended left-turn lanes on both sides of Lakeline and new Cypress Creek medians as well as relocated road signs and sidewalks.

The road project will cost about $2.95 million and will draw from capital improvement project funds established in 2013, Bonn said.

During the project the intersection will remain open, but drivers will need to watch carefully for relocated entrances to shopping centers at the intersection, he said. The city will also post project updates at its website, www.cedarparktexas.gov/construction.

“While this project will ultimately add more capacity to and increase efficiency at the intersection, drivers may want to plan to allow extra travel time or avoid using the intersection during peak hours,” Bonn said.
