Wheels are turning on dozens of transportation projects

No matter where you live in Round Rock, chances are good there is road work going on near you. If not, then a project nearby is probably in the works to break ground shortly.

That’s the conclusion drawn from a presentation given by Transportation Services Director Gary Hudder to the City Council on July 11, 2019. Hudder provided a comprehensive overview, complete with maps and photos, of the many projects the City is working on that are either in the construction or planning stage. Check our Transportation Master Plan for an even more detailed look at the City’s plans for the future.
