Agnes project grows to boost mobility
Some context
Roadwork on the $5.27 million Agnes Street extension project began in February. O cials said the goal is to ease tra c congestion and enhance east-west access in areas from Home Depot to Walmart as the city continues to grow. As a whole, Agnes Street will be expanded to a four-lane road with a physical separation between the lanes.
A drop inlet, or special drain, will direct rainwater from the west side of the road into a channel on the east side, according to the contract. The project will be folded into the Agnes Street Extension, which is expected to be completed by late 2025.
Bastrop residents in neighborhoods south of Agnes Street will soon see improved connectivity and tra c ow after City Council approved a plan to extend Blacktail Drive to connect with Agnes Street. Blacktail Drive will be extended 260 feet north to Agnes Street as a two-lane road with sidewalks on both sides, city documents show.
