Williamson County Precinct 3 Commissioner Valerie Covey and Precinct 1 Commissioner Terry Cook were joined by others to break ground on improvements to the Wyoming Springs at Smyers Lane intersection in Round Rock today. Williamson County will install a dedicated left-turn lane southbound on Wyoming Springs Drive at Smyers Lane. This will provide a bay for cars to stack up prior to turning left into Walgreens, allowing southbound traffic to continue unimpeded.  

“I’m pleased to get this safety project underway, “ said Precinct 3 Commissioner Valerie Covey. “The left-turn lane will help alleviate congestion in the area and allow for safe ingress to local retail businesses.”

The project was designed by HNTB. The contractor is MA Smith Contracting, and the project is anticipated to be completed in summer 2022. The project cost is $355,892.50 and is being funded with voter-approved 2019 Road Bonds.
