Two roadwork projects around the CedarView development in north Cedar Park will be completed by late August, a news release from the city states.
The details
Traffic signals at the intersection of New Hope Drive and Enchanted Rock Drive will be fully live July 30, the release states.
Work on the intersection of New Hope Drive and Main Street-Block House Drive is expected to be completed by the time Scheels opens Aug. 29.
The improvements are part of a larger project to expand New Hope Drive. Other traffic changes will continue along the roadway as crews work to expand it from four to six lanes.
The project also introduced an innovative intersection at 183A Toll, which includes a traffic shift involving the left-turn lanes from 183A Toll onto New Hope Drive, and design work continues on the western segment of New Hope Drive toward Lakeline Boulevard.
The expansion of New Hope Drive between Block House Drive and CR 180 will cost a total of $49.5 million, according to state filings. The project is expected to be completed in spring 2027, according to the city’s projects dashboard.
Some context
Scheels will be the second-largest retail tenant in the development anchored by NFM, formerly Nebraska Furniture Mart. Other tenants that have been announced include Marriott, J. Alexander’s, and Haywire.
Scheels representatives announced that the company will host a grand opening at its Cedar Park location Aug. 29. The 300,000-square-foot store will feature 75 specialty shops, a 65-foot indoor Ferris wheel, a 16,000-gallon saltwater aquarium and Ginna’s Café, which will serve soups and sandwiches, according to previous Community Impact reporting.
