Project to widen Rock Prairie Road East to four lanes begins on Monday

Posted on 12/01/2023

The Rock Prairie Road East Widening Project from State Highway 6 to Town Lake Drive is scheduled to begin on Monday. The project will transform the two-lane asphalt roadway into a four-lane concrete road with a median and is expected to be completed by the summer of 2025.

For the initial phase, the roadway will be closed from Medical Avenue to Bird Pond Road for about six months. Detours will be in place.

The second phase, scheduled to begin next summer, will close Rock Prairie from Bird Pond to Town Lake for about three months. Plans for the following phases will be announced later. When those phases are complete, construction will begin on the section from Town Lake to William D. Fitch Parkway.

The Rock Prairie Widening Project from Town Lake to William D. Fitch was approved by voters in the 2022 bond election. The work includes separated bike lanes, sidewalks, drainage improvements, and street lighting.
