Wyoming Springs extension project under construction in Round Rock

The Wyoming Springs extension project is now under construction after five years of planning and design.

The new four-lane divided arterial roadway will include shared-use paths and extend over Brushy Creek from Creekbend Boulevard to FM 3406 (Old Settlers Boulevard). The project is expected to significantly reduce traffic congestion on FM 3406, Sam Bass Road, and Creekbend Boulevard, offering another north-south route on the west side of the city.

The project also includes connecting the road’s shared-use paths to the existing Brushy Creek regional trail that runs along Hairy Man Road.

The Wyoming Springs extension has been in the City’s Transportation Master Plan since 1999 to address anticipated growth in the area. City Council approved the design contract for the project in August 2019, just two years after the completion of the nearby Creekbend Boulevard extension over Brushy Creek.

Designed with future transportation needs in mind, the roadway incorporates measures to minimize environmental and community impacts along the unique Hairy Man corridor. Efforts to preserve the existing landscape included aligning the roadway to avoid tree removal where possible, using retaining walls and tree wells to limit embankment on root zones and following the existing ground profile. Extensive coordination with the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and community feedback during public meetings in 2020 and 2021 helped shape the final design.

Construction is expected to last up to two years. Crews began preparing preparing the site in November, with work on underground utilities beginning soon. The $25.9 million construction contract, awarded to Capital Excavation Company in September 2024, is funded by the City’s Transportation and Economic Development Corporation (Type B) sales tax revenues.
