The Evans Road Reconstruction Project began in early 2021 with the goal of widening Evans from the I-35 frontage road to the Selma city limits.
According to city officials, the project helps improve the capacity and safety of Evans by reconstructing vehicle lanes and installing new bike lanes, sidewalks and roadside parking.
This project furthers the enhancements that began with the Lookout Road Reconstruction Project in 2019, repairing almost 7,000 linear feet of road surface and adding more than 4,000 linear feet of 5-foot-wide concrete sidewalks.
As part of the Evans Road Reconstruction Project, the city also worked on the Cibolo Creek Recreational Trail, which includes over 6,000 linear feet of 10-foot-wide recreational trails along Cibolo Creek.
The trails will connect the Evans/Lookout area with Stage Stop Park, and the existing Evans Road Hike and Bike Trail between Stage Stop Park and the John S. Harrison House Property.
The Evans Road Reconstruction Project and Cibolo Creek Recreational Trail cost an estimated $3.34 million and were funded through the municipal development district fund.
While both projects are substantially complete, minor improvements and maintenance will still be conducted until the full project is completed.
The sections of Evans from Lookout to Nacogdoches Road are still under construction by the city of San Antonio with an unannounced completion date.
