$23.4 Million Old Settlers Boulevard Extension Marks Completion in Round Rock
Round Rock and Williamson County have celebrated completion of a major roadway connection designed to improve travel for drivers, cyclists and pedestrians in one of the area's growing corridors.
Williamson County and the City of Round Rock marked completion of the Old Settlers Boulevard Extension on Sept. 21, celebrating a project that created a new four-lane divided roadway between North Red Bud Lane and County Road 110.
More Than Four New Lanes
The approximately $23.4 million project includes more than the roadway itself. Improvements include a 10-foot shared-use path, six-foot sidewalk and a new traffic signal and crosswalk at County Road 110, adding pedestrian and bicycle infrastructure alongside the vehicle connection.
Williamson County contributed $7.7 million through the voter-approved 2019 Williamson County Road Bond, with the project completed in partnership with the City of Round Rock. Aguirre & Fields served as project engineer and Patin Construction as the construction contractor.
The extension matters because transportation networks in eastern Round Rock have had to keep pace with years of residential and commercial growth. Adding another east-west connection gives travelers an additional route while extending infrastructure for people walking and biking.
A Regional Partnership Reaches the Finish Line
At the ribbon cutting, county officials described connectivity, safety and mobility as goals of the project. Precinct 4 Commissioner Russ Boles credited the partnership with Round Rock, while County Judge Steve Snell pointed to both congestion relief and the walking and biking connection as benefits.
The ribbon cutting brings a major construction project to a close, but transportation investment across Williamson County remains active as communities including Round Rock, Georgetown, Hutto and Taylor continue growing.
Drivers should continue following posted construction controls near North Red Bud Lane. The city’s Old Settlers Extension project page lists related Red Bud realignment work continuing into fall.
