The city of Round Rock furthered work on the Wyoming Springs Drive extension, which will construct a new four-lane divided roadway with shared-use paths, extending over Brushy Creek from Creek Bend Boulevard to Old Settlers Boulevard.

The update

Last week, contractors set beams for multiple bridges that are part of the project, according to a city Facebook post. Estimates put project completion at fall of 2026 or spring of 2027.

By offering an additional north-south route in west Round Rock, the Wyoming Springs extension is expected to reduce traffic congestion on Old Settlers Boulevard, Sam Bass Road and Creek Bend Boulevard, according to city staff.

The project will also connect the road’s shared-use paths to the Brushy Creek Regional Trail, running along Hairy Man Road.

The background

Plans for the road project began in August 2019, and construction began at the end of 2024. A recent change order to the contract with Capital Excavation Company put project totals at around $30 million, funded by Type B sales tax revenue.
