What you need to know
The road project—part of the city’s Transportation Master Plan—will include widening the existing four-lane roadway to a six-lane arterial thoroughfare with a raised median. The project also includes pedestrian and bicycle improvements, according to city documents.
Funding for the $20.4 million road project comes from the Round Rock Transportation and Economic Development Corporation, through local sales tax revenue.
The details
In addition to widening Gattis School Road, the project will add a center turn lane from Westview Drive to Red Bud Lane.
Upgraded traffic signals are also planned for intersections at Lake Forest Drive, High Country Boulevard and Red Bud Lane.
Remember this?
This is the second time this project has been bid. Round Rock officials moved to terminate the original $17.5 million contract with Capital Excavation Co., following utility relocation delays.
What's next?
City staff said work on the project would start soon after approval and is expected to take two years to complete.
