The Brushy Creek Bridge at CR 179 in Leander is scheduled to close June 8, 2013, for reconstruction.
CR 179 in Leander is scheduled to close June 8 for reconstruction of the Brushy Creek bridge, City of Leander Engineer Wayne Watts said May 30. The closure coincides with the end of the Leander ISD school year and will likely extend into September or October, he said.
The city and school district collaborated on the timing of the closure to minimize the impact on students attending Stiles Middle School, located on Barley Road and only accessible from CR 179.
"We have to tear out the existing drain structure and install a 44-foot-wide bridge," Watts said. "The roadway construction started back in February and will be ongoing with the bridge construction."
