Project Background
The 2012-2017 General Obligation Bond Program authorized $2,820,000.00 for funding of the Higgins Road and Classen Road Intersections and of that, $1,761,731.00 will be used for construction. The balance of the Project funds will be used for design services, environmental services, advertising and project management, with any remaining funds to be realized as bond savings.
This Project provides for the construction of left-turn lanes at seven key intersections by adding pavement width and restriping the intersections between Santa Gertrudis and Corian Springs Drive. In addition, full roadway reconstruction (approximately 900 linear feet) will take place between Corian Springs Drive and Misty Glade to improve sight distance. The road will remain open for traffic at the 7 intersections and along the full roadway reconstruction limits. All traffic control requirements will be followed. A public meeting was held at April 24, 2014 to inform the public of the upcoming project. Project construction is anticipated to begin November 2014 and estimated to be completed by June 2015.
