Editor's note: The Texas Department of Transportation announced that the opening of this part of RM 620 would be delayed until after the new year after publication.

The city of Round Rock announced Dec. 15 that the Texas Department of Transportation opened the eastbound overpass on RM 620 to traffic.

TxDOT opened the newly constructed piece of road infrastructure at 5 a.m., allowing drivers to bypass any conflicts with the Union Pacific Corp. railroad line that runs perpendicular to RM 620. Eastbound traffic will use the overpass to travel between Briarwood Street and the I-35 intersection of RM 620. The eastbound frontage road will provide access to Chisholm Trail Road, and westbound traffic will not be affected by the overpass's opening, according to the city.
