The city of Round Rock continues work on a new trail segment to connect Round Rock West with the downtown area, most recently using a crane to place a bridge over Lake Creek.
The gist
The one-mile Lake Creek Trail will connect the east side of I-35 to the west side. It includes a connection from Round Rock West Park, through a pedestrian underpass under I-35 and a bridge connecting to Centennial Plaza.
The project was first approved in 2023, when City Council signed off on a $2.46 million construction contract using 2023 voter-approved bond funding. After facing delays due to a waterline issue, the project was back on track earlier this year. Council approved an additional $524,000 for the contract earlier this year, to address the delay and cost increases.
