The breakdown
According to city officials, the $13 million project consisted of:
- Expanding 3/4-mile of roadway to four lanes.
- Adding an upgraded intersection at FM 725.
- Improving a low water crossing.
- Installing an 8-10-foot shared-use path and 6-foot sidewalks.
In 2019, voters approved the Klein Road widening project as part of the 2019 bond. Construction on the project began in May 2023 and was estimated to be complete by fall 2025, however the project was completed a year early.
