Upcoming projects
1. Virginia Street and Throckmorton Street infrastructure improvements
Infrastructure improvements for Virginia Street and Throckmorton Street are under design and are expected to begin construction this fall. The section of Virginia Street between McDonald Street and Throckmorton Street as well as a portion of Throckmorton Street between Virginia Street and Lamar Street will be affected. Planned improvements to the roadways, both adjacent to the new City Hall site, include underground utilities, street reconstruction and roadway illumination along with hardscape and landscape work. The project also includes adding a single-lane roundabout at the intersection of Virginia and Throckmorton streets. The construction timeline for this project is dependent on the progress of the East Louisiana Street roadway improvements.
