Public Works Projects

Viking Construction applied micro-surfacing to various streets throughout the City November 2019 to improve rideability and preservation.

Additional streets will receive preservation coat in the Summer of 2020.

Pleasant Hill Road was widened at the entrance and repaved to improve safety from the access road March 2019.

Point repairs are scheduled between January 28-29, 2019 throughout the City. Alpha Paving is completing the work. 

In March 2017, a Public Works Bond (7 Year) was issued for $500,000, intended for various projects involving Road & Drainage Improvements. Below is a summary of these efforts:

Red Leaf Drainage:  This problem was identified and engineered in 2016.  It was ready to bid for construction and completed the Summer of 2017.

Park Road, Elm and West Dogwood Drainage & Road Reconstruction:  Solving the drainage issues on these roads was the main focus of the Bond.  Residents were notified and asked to park on the streets during critical times of the road reconstruction.  There were several fences obstructing drainage and maintenance, the City is coordinating with owners to remove them temporarily and replace with flow through design.  Park road is also carved out.  Substantial completion is just around the corner.

Blue Bonnet Spillway:  This issue was recently identified in the media.  Although it was not part of the bond's initial focus, remaining funds will be used to conduct preliminary engineering. Construction is scheduled for April 2019.

Walkability Improvements.

Don't Forget Important Dates!

Interstate 14 Improvements

The Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) will begin a series of Main Street closures at the intersection of Main and I-14, in Nolanville, beginning Sunday evening December 15, 2019.  The closures will take place overnight between the hours of 7 p.m and 6 a.m., Sunday thru through Thursday, until completion of the additional I-14 overpass travel lanes at that location.   Southbound Main Street traffic will detour west to the Nola Ruth Blvd overpass and loop back to Main.  Northbound Main Street traffic will detour east to Patty Hamilton Rd and Loop back to Main.

Initial overnight closures at Main will be curtailed December 20, 2019 thru January 3, 2020 and resume Sunday, January 6, 2020.  I-14 eastbound and westbound main lane traffic will be maintained during the bridge work. 

The I-14 project, adding roadway capacity via an inside travel lane in both the eastbound and westbound directions as well as a concrete traffic barrier between opposing travel lanes, from FM 3423 (Indian Trail) in Harker Heights to FM 2410 in Belton, began in September 2019 and is scheduled for completion in the summer of 2021, weather permitting.   

TxDOT advises the traveling public to expect delays, temporary congestion and periodic temporary single lane closures within the work zone, for the duration of the project.  

The project, designed to increase safety along US 190, will apply safety-end-treatments to culvert-ends at cross drainage locations under frontage roads and adjoining private driveways, as well as upgrade guard-rail from Paddy Hamilton Road, east of Nolanville, to I-35 at Belton.

Please observe all warning signs and exercise caution when passing near construction personnel and equipment in the project area.
