Upcoming projects
Bee Cave Parkway and Bee Cave Road pedestrian improvements
Project: Bee Cave Parkway and Bee Cave Road in Bee Cave will undergo pedestrian improvements including the construction of signals, crosswalks, sidewalks and ADA curb ramps.
Update: The final package of design documents will be completed in August.
Project: The road in Pflugerville will be widened to four lanes from Moorlynch Avenue to Weiss Lane.
Update: Full utility design was completed in May. If utility relocations continue as scheduled, the project will go out to bid in April 2027.
Parmer Lane, Ranch Trails intersection improvements
Project: Improvements are planned at the Parmer Lane and Ranch Trails Boulevard intersection in Cedar Park, including added inbound and outbound turn lanes to improve traffic flow and support future dual left-turn movements on southbound Parmer Lane.
Update: Design is complete, but the project is on hold and will resume once construction of a nearby development begins.
Ongoing projects
Austin Avenue vehicular bridges
Project: This project includes reconstruction of two vehicular bridges crossing the San Gabriel River in Georgetown.
Update: The southbound Austin Avenue bridge decks were demolished starting in early June, and reconstruction will take approximately two months. The contractor will then do the northbound bridge decks.
Project: The city of Leander-led road program will extend the San Gabriel Parkway eastward from Isaias Drive to West Ronald Reagan Boulevard, between the Palmera Ridge and Palmera Bluff subdivisions, as an arterial roadway.
Update: Construction is ongoing; a traffic signal at San Gabriel Parkway and Ronald Reagan Boulevard is expected to be operational in 2026.
Project: The city of Round Rock is reconstructing Chisholm Trail Road from Sam Bass Road to RM 620, with drainage, pedestrian and lighting improvements.
Update: The discovery of utility lines within the project has delayed its completion from this summer 2026 to fall 2026.
