Title
Presentation regarding roadway detour for the Kelly Lane Widening project.
Summary
As part of the Kelly Lane widening capital improvement project, the City is proposing a detour of Kelly Lane from Falcon Pointe West to Moorlynch Ave. starting July 23rd and ending with the reopening of the roadway to traffic on August 8th. Motorists should expect minor delays and account for increased travel time as this portion of Kelly Lane is restricted. Both eastbound and westbound traffic on Kelly Lane will be detoured via Falcon Pointe Blvd. (East & West entrances), Villamoura St., Falls Stereo and Moorlynch Ave. North/South access will still be available via the connection route through Falcon Pointe Blvd. to Pflugerville Parkway. Only golf course traffic will be permitted within the closed section of Kelly Lane during the two-week period. The route of this detour has been coordinated with Travis County, Emergency Services District #2, the Pflugerville Police Department, the Pflugerville Independent School District (PISD), and area homeowner's associations.
This road closure will allow construction on the middle portion of Kelly Lane (Falcon Pointe to Moorlynch) to be completed in a shorter period of time, prior to school in August, than previously scheduled. This scope of work is being rescheduled to allow the contractor to complete construction items that would have otherwise been performed at the end of the project schedule during the regular school session. By rescheduling this portion of work, it will take two (2) weeks for completion rather than six (6) weeks as previously scheduled. This work will be completed prior to school commencing in August and allow the least disruption to PISD bus service. The middle section of Kelly Lane will consist of full street reconstruction and rehabilitation and upgrade of drainage culverts east of Vilamoura.
Motorists should use caution at both ends of the construction zone, obeying all signs, message boards and flag persons when present. Dates are subject to change due to weather and other conditions.
