The project begins at the intersection of Pecan Meadows Drive and extends south and east to about 300 feet west of FM 2499. Individuals driving through the area are encouraged to use Waketon Road as an alternate route or expect traffic delays.
The details
The roadway surface is being changed from asphalt to concrete. Once complete, Rippy Road will be a two-lane concrete urban collector, which is a type of road designed for higher speeds and more traffic than residential roads.
The construction work also includes an enclosed stormwater collection system to improve stormwater collection, as well as 2,000 linear feet of 12-inch water line, according to previous Community Impact reporting. According to Flower Mound's website, the project is expected to be complete this fall.
Construction crews began laying concrete for the project in November. It costs about $9.25 million and is being paid for with water impact fees and funds from the tax increment reinvestment zone.
