New traffic signal at Hwy 79 and Africa Ln on the way following contract approved by Round Rock City Council
A project to add a new traffic signal to the intersection of Hwy 79 and Africa Lane/Brushy Creek Plant Road is one step closer to a start date after Round Rock City Council approved a contract on Jan. 13.
Austin Traffic Signal Construction Co. will install the signal for $219,953.50.
City staff stated the installation will be easier than others may have been in the past, as infrastructure for a traffic signal was built into the intersection when the road was constructed in anticipation of need for one.
Details regarding a timeline for the project are forthcoming.
