Lane closures over Mays Street bridge in effect

Lane closures on the Mays Street bridge in Round Rock are underway as the city continues a project addressing movement of the bridge’s retaining walls.

The gist

One lane of traffic in each direction will remain open as city crews move from performing work on the bridge’s retaining walls to roadway improvements on top of the bridge. These improvements include replacing portions of the roadway approach and sidewalks, installing structural elements to lock both sides of the bridge walls together, and completing rail painting.

The project, which City Council approved a $2 million contract for in 2025, is expected to be completed in late spring.
