Work to begin this spring, area to be widened to four lanes from Telge Road to Hwy. 249
By the end of next year, one portion of Spring Cypress Road will appear much different, following the completion of a construction project to widen the roadway and alleviate congestion in the area.
The right-of-way that was acquired to complete the project was cleared in late 2011, which caused several utility companies to relocate their facilities along the roadway.
When completed, Spring Cypress Road—from Telge Road to Hwy. 249—will be four lanes within a 60-foot right-of-way with a storm sewer system, traffic signal modifications and drainage mitigation. The new road will also feature 32-foot wide curbed medians, median openings and left-hand turn lanes.
Drivers who need to pass through the area during the construction process will still have access to two lanes, but exceptions may require the use of one-way flagging.
