Work continues on the Tri-County reconstruction project. As of early January, the new sanitary sewer lines have been completed and most of the road has been reconstructed. Once the final segment of Tri-County Parkway has been reconstructed the contractor will place a new layer of pavement over Tri-County Parkway and on Lookout Road in the project area. This will fully complete the project and be the final finished surface of the new street. The project is anticipated to be completed by the end of February; however, inclement weather could cause some delays.

The City of Schertz is planning two projects for Lookout Road between Schertz Parkway and Doerr Lane. One project includes the installation of a new traffic signal at the Lookout Road and Schertz Parkway intersection. This project is currently being bid, however, due to long lead times for the traffic signal equipment, construction of the new signal is not expected to start until Summer 2023. This project is being funded by the Schertz Economic Development Corporation (EDC) and the City of Selma.

The second project on Lookout Road includes replacement of the sanitary sewer line and reconstruction of the roadway. This work will build off of the work done on Tri-County Parkway. This project is currently in design and construction is not expected to start until Summer 2023. Funding for this project was also provided by the Schertz EDC. The City will be reaching out to the businesses in the area to keep them informed about the project and to get feedback on how best to phase construction for the project. More information and updates will also be available on the City’s website as the project continues to progress.

The reconstruction and widening of the roadway is currently underway. This project will take a while to complete, so traffic control will be in place and traffic will be affected for some time. Please allow extra time to travel through the project area.

Work is actively underway on the project in other parts of the region. The bulk of the work is being performed at night, to minimize traffic impacts. This project has a long construction duration, so there will be an ongoing activity in the project area for the foreseeable future. There is some geotechnical testing occurring in the Schertz section of IH-35. There can be periodic lane closures while soil samples are collected using large drill rigs. For more information follow I-35 NEX Central on Facebook.

Work continues on improvement to the IH-10 corridor. Work is being done at all times of the day, depending on the work activity. This project also has a long construction duration, so there will be ongoing activity for the foreseeable future.
