Drivers in New Braunfels will see improvements at several road intersections, with ongoing construction anticipated to be completed by the end of the year.

The background

New Braunfels voters approved Proposition A—outlining plans for eight transportation projects throughout the city and totaling $99.33 million—in the 2023 bond. Among those projects, Phase 1 of the citywide intersection improvements was funded for $5.21 million.

According to the 2023 bond website, potential improvements include new traffic signal installations or intersection reconstruction, such as:
  • Adding turn lanes
  • Converting wire-hung traffic signals to mast arm-supported traffic signals
  • Adding pedestrian signals
  • Adding emergency vehicle prioritization for traffic signals
  • Upgrading vehicle detection technology

  • Walnut Avenue and Gardenia Drive
  • Hwy. 46 West and Hueco Springs Loop Road
  • Hwy. 46 West and Mission Valley Road
  • Hwy. 46 West and Independence Drive
