Gruene Road/Post Road intersection project underway in New Braunfels

Motorists traveling along Gruene Road and Post Road will see construction at the intersection beginning Nov. 2.

What residents should know

E-Z Bel Construction, the contractor for the Gruene Road/Post Road Intersection Improvement Project, will work during the day from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m., and construction is expected to continue through mid-February, according to a city news release.

The first phase of the project's construction will not require detours, but residents should expect traffic delays. Later phases beginning in December will require detours, according to the release.

About the project

Gruene Road at the Post Road intersection will be realigned and the intersection will be converted to a four-way stop to help reduce traffic. Construction crews will also be adding new sidewalks with Americans with Disabilities Act-compliant curb ramps and pavement striping, according to the release.

The project, which costs $700,000, is being funded by Roadway Impact Fees, which are collected from new development. New Braunfels City Council awarded the construction contract to E-Z Bel Construction in July.
