Residential Street Maintenance to begin soon in Round Rock Round Rock City Council awarded a $5 million contract for its 2024 Residential Street Maintenance Program March 27. The details Lone Star Paving received the $5.16 million contract for construction work. The annual program includes milling the existing asphalt and replacing it with a new surface, and patching the asphalt in failed pavement areas. The city selects projects based on the structural condition of the pavement, or the pavement condition index. This year’s program will address streets in the Kensing- ton Place, Southern Terrace and Round Rock Ranch subdivisions.
The road is part of the Central Texas Regional Mobility Authority’s 183A Phase 3 project, which extends the existing 10-mile 183A Toll northward. The project adds two tolled lanes in each direc- tion within the median of the US 183 corridor and introduces a shared-use path spanning from Hero Way to Seward Junction Loop. The extended 183A Toll will provide drivers with nearly 16 miles of travel between Liberty Hill and Northwest Austin by bypassing trac signals at: • Hero Way • San Gabriel Parkway • Bryson Ridge Trail • Whitewing Drive The overall project totals 6.6 miles in length.
