Construction is set to begin on a project adding acceleration and deceleration lanes at the intersection of Rowe Lane and FM 685 in Pflugerville.

Pflugerville City Council approved an approximately $1 million construction contract with Dan Williams Co. for the project at an Oct. 25 meeting. Funding comes from certificates of obligation approved in 2018.

The project will add a right turn lane on FM 685 for vehicles turning onto Rowe Lane and an acceleration lane for vehicles turning from Rowe Lane onto FM 685. When the project is complete, northbound FM 685 will have two dedicated through lanes at the intersection in addition to the newly added acceleration and deceleration lanes.

Design on the project began in July 2019. Construction will get underway in November and be complete by February, according to city documents.
