ROUND ROCK
Work has begun on
East Main Street project
Improvements to East Main Street in downtown Round Rock, which include the construction of six parklets and additional lighting and sidewalks, began this month. The parklets will include new trees, benches, additional landscaping, lighting elements and expanded walking space for pedestrians.
The project also includes repaving East Main Street between Mays Street and Sheppard Street, as well as one block north and one block south of Main Street on Lampasas and Sheppard streets downtown.
Construction is slated to be completed in late June.
The Round Rock City Council approved a $2.39 million contract with G. Hyatt Construction for the improvements on Nov. 26.
