Smyers Lane will soon be overhauled by the city of Round Rock as part of its street maintenance program.
The gist
The stretch of road between RM 620 and Wyoming Springs Drive will be fully reconstructed after Round Rock City Council approved a $1.38 million contract with Aaron Concrete Contractors on June 25. Funding for the project comes from the Round Rock Transportation and Economic Development Corp. fund, which receives a portion of local sales tax revenue.
The details
Public Works Director Michael Thane said the project will see the street totally rebuilt. This will include recycling the existing road's base material in place to build the new road, applying a seal coat and finishing with asphalt overlay.
Thane said the project will not add lanes to the road, nor will it add sidewalks. Sidewalks could be added as part of a future project, he said.
What's next
Per a June update from the city, the project is set to begin construction this month.
