Buda City Council contracted the design firm K Friese + Associates on September 17 to begin construction.
The subgrade under the road and base needs to be replaced and that requires an engineering analysis, Buda Public Information Officer Michelle Henley said in an email to Community Impact.
During construction, half of the roadway is anticipated to be closed for construction and safety of the crews, Henley said.
The cost
The $1.12 million project will be fully funded by funds that were initially approved by Buda voters in the 2021 bond election.
The background
Buda’s geotechnical consultant provided a soil sample and testing report to K Friese + Associates, who developed a recommendation to rehabilitate the roadway. The pavement recommendation was presented to the Buda Bond Oversight Committee on Nov. 20, 2023, and Jan. 22, according to the project website.
A public meeting was held on Dec. 4, 2023, at the Garlic Creek Amenity Center where stakeholder input was collected to factor into the final design. The pavement recommendation was presented to city council on Feb. 6 for approval, according to city officials.
