The Deer Creek Drainage Improvement project—which began in late 2024—was completed in early June, City Manager Wayne Reed said during a June 10 Cibolo City Council meeting.
The $500,000 project was funded by American Rescue Plan funds, according to the city's Capital Improvement Project List for Fiscal Years 2022 to 2026. The project consisted of reconstructing falling riprap and existing outfalls at Deer Creek Road, according to the city's website.
Riprap is a layer of large stones that protect soil from erosion in areas of concentrated flows and outfalls are discharge points of a drainage system, according to the Environmental Protection Agency.
What else?
Roadway construction began on Deer Creek Boulevard between Cibolo Valley Drive and Cordero Drive on May 12, according to the city's website.
The $1.9 million project is part of Cibolo's Fiscal Year 2025 Capital Improvement program, according to a presentation made during a March 25 council meeting.
Roadway reconstruction will include adding over 24 inches of new stabilized material, roadway surface and new pavement markings, according to the Cibolo Capital Improvements webpage.
During construction, Deer Creek Boulevard will be closed to southbound traffic. Detours will be in place southeast on Brush Trail Bend and from Deer Creek Boulevard to Cibolo Valley Drive. Communications Manager Jeanette Gonzalez told Community Impact that expected timeline for completion is 120 days from May 12—which would be around September.
