The City of Cedar Park and Williamson County are cutting the ribbon on another joint project: the New Hope Drive extension from Cottonwood Creek Trail to Ronald Reagan Boulevard. The event will take place on Tuesday, June 25, at 4:30 p.m., along New Hope Drive just east of Arrow Point.
According to city officials, the New Hope Drive extension will provide additional capacity for east-west traffic through the City of Cedar Park, as well as provide greater access to what has become one of the major technology centers in Cedar Park: the La Jaita and Arrow Point Business Parks.
The project is a four lane major arterial, divided roadway with raised median, a ten-foot wide shared use path, street lighting, a traffic signal at Ronald Reagan Boulevard and new water and wastewater lines. It also includes an extension of Arrow Point Drive.
Construction began in late summer 2017 with a budget of $9.4 million. It was funded from 2015 voter approved bonds along with savings from prior bond projects. Williamson County contributed $1.3 million.
