2. Aquarena Springs Drive overpass

The city of San Marcos is partnering with the Texas Department of Transportation to construct an overpass over the Union Pacific Corp. railroad tracks that cross Aquarena Springs Drive in San Marcos. When completed, the $20.7 million overpass will feature two travel lanes in each direction as well as access roads—or “Bobcat lanes”—on both sides of the overpass. On Feb. 15 traffic on the road was rerouted to go through the new railroad crossing and signalized intersection at Post Road. The detour will allow for construction to begin on the overpass.
