Old Settlers Boulevard extension closes an east-west roadway gap

Round Rock celebrated completion of the Old Settlers Boulevard extension with a September 21 ribbon-cutting, adding nearly a mile of roadway between North Red Bud Lane and County Road 110.

The approximately $23.4 million project includes four lanes, a divided median and twin bridges over McNutt Creek. It also provides a 10-foot shared-use path on one side and a six-foot sidewalk on the other, along with a new signal and crosswalks at County Road 110.

The connection serves the growing eastern part of Round Rock, including travel between the Siena area, Old Settlers Boulevard and North Red Bud Lane. The city expects it to provide another east-west option and help relieve pressure on U.S. 79; that is an anticipated benefit, not a measured traffic result.

Long-range plans contemplate extending the corridor farther toward State Highway 130. That future concept should be distinguished from the segment the city has now completed.
