A long-awaited Texas Hill Country road project is finally finished and ready for motorists, according to mysantonio.com.
The $13 million Klein Road widening construction project is complete, according to a city of New Braunfels Facebook post from late December. The project finished ahead of schedule, as completion was expected in the fall of 2025.
The project's origins date to a 2019 transportation bond project. J3 Co. of San Antonio, Texas, was the contractor.
Klein Road renovations include approximately 3/4 mi. of improvements, including a four-lane section, low-water crossing, Farm-to-Market 725 intersection enhancements, an 8-10-ft. shared used path and 6-ft. sidewalks, according to the 2019 Bond Program website.
The low-water crossing will include better drainage and safety during heavy rains.
Included in the bond was the $10.7 million reconstruction of Goodwin Lane from Farm to Market Road 306 to Conrads Lane and Conrads Lane from Goodwin Lane to Interstate 35; the $2.16 million rehabilitation of McQueeney Road to improve connectivity from I-35 to County Line Road; and $2.5 million in improvements to South Union Avenue from Commo Street to Lincoln Street.
The $143 million 2019 bond program had four propositions such as transportation infrastructure, park recreation, public safety and library facilities.
