Upcoming projects
Williams Drive medians
Project: The project will construct medians with turn lanes on Williams Drive from I-35 to Serenada Drive, including a shared-use path on the north side of the road.
Update: The Texas Department of Transportation is reviewing contractor bids, and officials anticipate construction starting this summer.
SE Inner Loop
Project: A 2.91-mile stretch of SE Inner Loop will be widened to a four-lane, divided road from Hwy. 29 to FM 1460. A shared-use path will also be added.
Update: Utility relocations are underway from FM 1460 to Southwestern Boulevard. The advertising and bidding process will follow.
Ongoing projects
Shell Road widening
Project: The city will widen Shell Road from Williams Drive to Sycamore Street to four lanes with a raised median, shared-use path, and left- and right-turn lanes.
Update: As of June, the majority of utility work has been completed. Crews are working on paving.
Rockride Lane
Project: Rockride Lane is being upgraded to a two-lane collector with a continuous center left-turn lane and a 10-foot-wide shared-use path from SE Inner Loop to Sam Houston Avenue.
Update: The contractor has begun work to install the permanent signal at the Sam Houston and Rockride Intersection.
Austin Avenue vehicular bridges
Project: This project includes reconstruction of two vehicular bridges crossing the San Gabriel River.

Project: The project adds four lanes, a center turn lane and a shared-use path from Hwy. 29 to Oak Ridge Road.
Update: The project is substantially complete, and all four lanes of traffic are open. A ribbon-cutting ceremony was held in July.
