Gattis School Road will become a six-lane divided roadway fromVia Sonoma Trail to Red Bud Lane. The project will add a raised median, turn lanes, and pedestrian and bicycle sidewalks. The $16.3 million project went to bid in April with completion expected in 2024, according to the city. The city’s master transportation plan identifies the arterial roadway as increas- ingly congested due to ongoing population growth. Timeline: April 2022-24 Cost: $16.3 million Funding sources: Capital Area Metropolitan Planning Organization, Round Rock Transporta- tion and Economic Development Corp.

Round Rock officials approved engineering con- tracts for turn lanes to be added to the frontage roads of eastbound SH 45 N and northbound I-35 near the Round Rock Crossing shopping center during an April 14 council meeting. On April 12, Round Rock Transportation Director Gary Hudder said operators and business owners at the shopping center located in the southeast corner of I-35 and SH 45 N have been requesting the turn lanes for a long time, citing safety concerns. “Working with the city manager’s office, [we] decided it was appropriate for us to move forward and make these modifications to the fast-traveled and congested frontage roads surrounding this retail center,” Hudder said. A total of three turn lanes will be created to enhance mobility and safety in the area with two on the frontage lanes on the south side of SH 45 N and one on the northbound I-35 frontage road. Engineer- ing firm K. Friese + Associates won the $349,690.90 contract.

Hudder said the firm was selected because it was already working on improvements to nearby Green- lawn Boulevard. The scope of work includes roadway and drainage engineering, geotechnical investigation, signal improvements, retaining wall design and utility relocation coordination, according to city documents.
