What's next: The closure will extend south of the intersection of Chisholm Trail Road and Sunset Drive to allow access to businesses located nearby. It will allow city crews to work on underground utilities and the infrastructure for a future pedestrian bridge included in the trail project.
The big picture: A project of the 2013 bond, Heritage Trail West will connect the approximately 1-mile span between Chisholm Trail Road and North Mays Street along Brushy Creek. City Council approved a resolution to rebid the project through a sealed proposal at an August meeting and awarded the $19.5 million contract to Patin Construction.
City documents state the trail project, which will connect to the countywide Brushy Creek Regional Trail once complete, will be a 10-foot-wide trail detailing the history of Round Rock as a timeline. Starting at Bathing Beach at Chisholm Trail Road and running to Mays Street, it will include improvements at Bathing Beach Park, Chisholm Trail Crossing Park and Memorial Park.
