Haeckerville Road from south of Schaefer Road through Arizpe Road was closed on July 13 to begin a project for a new drainage channel.

According to Cibolo city officials, the project is part of the second phase of the Town Creek Drainage Project that has an estimated cost of $7.1 million. The complete project is funded through five accounts amounting to nearly $8.5 million, including remaining funds from the 2011 and 2013 general obligation Town Creek Drainage Bonds.

During the time of the project, the road will be closed, and local residents will still have access to their properties during the road closure. Milling of the roadway began July 18, and the excavation for the drainage channel is set to begin July 19.

According to city officials, the project is estimated to take 12-14 months.
