\t\t\t\t\t\t\tCity of Kyle officials have made significant progress on eight road projects included in a road bond approved by voters in November 2022.<\/p>\n

At a Feb. 17 meeting, council members received updates on the projects, including progress on ongoing projects, completed projects and total cost estimations.<\/p>\n

The overview<\/p>\n

Over 80% of the needed land parcels are in the later stages of acquisition, said Rick Klatt, General Engineering Consultant program manager. In total, 207 parcels are required.<\/p>\n

The projects, aiming to improve the city\u2019s transportation network, will develop new roads and reconstruct and widen existing roads, according to previous Community Impact reporting<\/a>. The road developments in the bond<\/a> include:<\/p>\n

Marketplace Avenue<\/a>: connects the northern and southern segments of the road, adds 0.6 miles of new roadway and widens a pre-existing sectionBebee Road, West and East: realigns sharp curves and adds capacity to a 1-mile stretch with a new roundabout for the western portion; adds approximately 2.1 miles of a new four-lane roadway and three new roundabouts for the eastern portionKohlers to Seton: extends a portion of the roadway and adds an overpass to create space for a Kohlers Crossing connectionWindy Hill Road: expands the roadway to four lanes, improves intersections, extends a low water crossing culvert and adds modern drainage facilitiesCenter Street: expands a two-lane section of roadway to three lanes and widens the center lane of the existing three-lane sectionBunton Creek Road: improves intersections, widens travel lanes, upgrades pedestrian and bicycle facilities, and improves the existing roundaboutKyle Parkway\/Lehman Road: extends a portion of the thoroughfare to four lanes and extends Kyle Parkway to connect with the new segmentOld Stagecoach Road: widens and reconstructs a portion of the roadway, expanding Old Stagecoach Road North to four lanes and Old Stagecoach Road to three lanes\"visualization\"\/<\/p>\n

Zooming in<\/p>\n

The total estimated cost of the projects is between $2.9 million and $3.1 million, according to agenda documents<\/a>. The approximation assumes a 10% to 15% contingency to account for unforeseen factors or construction changes.<\/p>\n

\"visualization\"\/\u201cWe know it’s going to be a lot of disruption in the community,\u201d said Mike Trimble, city of Kyle director of transportation and public works. \u201cWe talk about what that looks like from a traffic control plan perspective, [and] how we’re going to try to keep roads open. We are going to try to keep mobility on most of these roadways.\u201d<\/p>\n
