West Lake Hills will begin the 2026 Street Maintenance Project on July 6, after City Council approved a nearly $1.7 million contract with Alpha Paving Industries at a June 24 council meeting.
The background
In 2021, West Lake Hills voters approved the Street Maintenance Sales Tax Program in order to provide dedicated funding for roadway improvements. In November 2025, voters reauthorized the street maintenance sales tax for eight more years.
The 2026 project will begin on Monday, July 6, and will consist of crack sealing and mill and overlay operations, per city documents.
These needs were identified in 2025 using pavement condition studies and engineering assessments.
The details
Crack sealing is used to prevent water and debris from entering small pavement cracks in order to reduce further deterioration, according to city documents.
Milling and overlaying includes grinding up the first layer of asphalt and laying a new layer of asphalt to remove the worn surface layer.
Work will begin with crack sealing operations and will continue throughout the city.
Residents may experience minor delays, temporary traffic control and short term construction activity as crews work on the roads, per city documents.
