45 TOLL

BY BRITTANY ANDERSON

Starting in June, once all of the above roads along the northbound side of Anderson Mill Road are com- plete, crews will then work on five intersections along the southbound side in the following order: • Zeppelin Drive • Grand Falls Drive • Passionflower Pass • Quiet Moon Trail • Cypress Creek Road While Phase 1 reconstructed the road between Gaspar Bend and Whitestone Boulevard, Phase 2 of the project includes widening the remaining two-lane sections on the road to four lanes between Cypress Creek and Whitestone. Additional work for Phase 2 includes a new sidewalk, new curb and gutter, signal modifications, signage, and drainage improve- ments, as previously reported by Community Impact . Phase 2 of the project began in January, and the project is on track to be completed in early 2024.

Traffic pattern shifts are next on the scope of work for the $7.7 million Anderson Mill Road widening project, funded through the 2022 Cedar Park voter-approved bond. Work for part of Phase 2 of the project began on Drifting Leaf Drive on May 1, shifting traffic to one side of the road to give contractors room to install new curbs, ramps and drainage facilities. Five northbound intersections will be worked on in the following order, and work will take about a week to complete: • Drifting Leaf Drive • Grand Falls Drive • Shady Creek Trail • Rhapsody Ridge Drive • Zeppelin Drive (once school is out for summer break) Shady Creek and Rhapsody will have flaggers stationed to help guide traffic, while the other roads are wide enough to maintain two-way traffic throughout construction.
