Williamson County Precinct 4 Commissioner Russ Boles was joined by Coupland Mayor Jack Piper and others to break ground on constructing improvements in Coupland today. This project consists of replacing the existing two-lane, 14’ wide asphalt pavement road with a two-lane, 20’ wide road with improved structural section (treated subgrade, flex base and hot mix asphalt). The projects limits are S. Broad Street from Elliot Street to Muery Street and Muery Street from CR 277 to S. Broad Street.

“When we moved forward with the voter-approved 2019 road bond projects, I made sure that our smaller cities on the east side of the county were included. These communities are important to Williamson County, and it is a privilege when we can partner with them on projects like this,” said Precinct 4 Commissioner Russ Boles.

“Residents have acknowledged that these two streets are the worst in Coupland,” said Coupland Mayor Jack Piper. “Residents have been very patient while waiting for something to be done to these two streets while realizing the cost to renovate is more than the city could take on. So we are very grateful and wish to thank Williamson County and Commissioner Russ Boles for including Coupland in the Williamson County 2019 bond projects.”

The design engineer for the project is CONSOR. The contractor is Chasco Constructors. Construction of the project is funded through the voter-approved 2019 Road Bond for $519,919.00 and will be completed in summer 2022.
