Travelers planning to navigate through Round Rock should be aware that Hairy Man Road was temporarily closed for an overnight construction activity. The roadway was shut down from Great Oaks Drive to Reprise Bend starting at 7 p.m. on Wednesday, Sept. 24, and was scheduled to reopen at 7 a.m. today. This was part of the ongoing Wyoming Springs extension project, specifically to allow crews to safely pour concrete for a bridge that will span over Hairy Man Road.
Motorists were expected to follow detour signs strategically placed to reroute traffic around the construction zone. The detours were designed not only to guide drivers but also to ensure the minimal disruption of local traffic flow. Residents and visitors were advised to plan for additional travel time, as traffic delays were likely to occur during these hours. The city assured that essential measures were in place to maintain accessibility to homes and businesses during the closure.
An official map detailing the detour routes was released ahead of the road closure to aid the public in navigating the area more easily. The map was made available on Round Rock's municipal website and local news outlets, providing clear instructions for both local and through traffic.
According to a statement obtained by Round Rock’s official city website, the endeavor is a critical component of the larger infrastructure project currently upgrading the city's roadways. This closure is an essential step in the construction process designed to eventually enhance vehicular movement and safety for the community. Efforts have been made to quickly complete this phase of the project and to minimize the overall impact on the daily routines of Round Rock's residents and visitors.
The city thanked the public in advance for their patience and understanding as they continue to diligently work on improving transportation infrastructure. Regular updates on the project’s progress and any future closures will be communicated through official channels. Round Rock officials remain committed to ensuring that forthcoming roadworks are executed with efficiency and with the least possible inconvenience to the public.
