One-block closure runs through March 1 One block of a feeder street to the heavily tra cked intersection of South Seguin Avenue and I-35 will be closed until March 1. The gist The closure allows for contractor Pesado Construction to connect about 9,000 feet of water main to the Avery Park water main from the South Castell Avenue water main, according to New Braunfels Utilities. The $8 million project is part of an expansion of infrastructure to deal with future demand.
Work will continue to widen Klein Road and add stormwater infrastructure through late summer 2024.

Work continues on Klein Road Phase 2 project Having completed a bridge over what was once a low water crossing between Walnut Avenue and FM 725, work continues along that stretch of Klein Road intended to improve drainage and safety on the roadway. Brenadette Faust, the capital projects manager for the city of New Braunfels, said while the new
elevated bridge was opened in October, work con- tinues to widen the roadway, install underground storm sewer, and more. The remaining work is slated to be complete in late summer 2024, she said. Project scope Now that the project replaced the low water cross- ing with a bridge, crews are still in the process of: • Widening the roadway to a four-lane section • Adding a 10-foot shared-use path and a 6-foot sidewalk from FM 725 to Walnut Avenue • Installing underground storm sewer
