Let's be honest. No one likes being stuck in traffic. That’s why Cedar Park has several road improvement and construction projects. Our goal is to help improve your quality of life. 

Some (but not all) of the various projects you will see on this page are voter-approved bond-funded projects.  Many have been completed or are in progress.  For more information on the 2015 Bond Election visit www.cedarparkbond.com.   

Under Construction

Bell Boulevard Realignment Project - utility undergrounding

The utility undergrounding construction portion of the Bell Boulevard road realignment is getting underway and is expected to be complete by mid-June, then the construction of the actual roadway is set to begin.

Under Design

Bell Boulevard Realignment Project

The Bell Boulevard (US 183) Realignment Project will return the current Bell Boulevard (US 183) roadway east onto the full extent of Old Highway 183, from Cypress Creek Road to Cedar Park Drive in Cedar Park. Currently, Old Highway 183 is a two-lane roadway parallel to Bell Boulevard (US 183), running generally north and south. Bell Boulevard is proposed to be realigned and relocated to the Old Highway 183 alignment and reconstructed to a four-lane divided roadway that includes a raised median with turn lanes at intersections and driveways. 

• The City began talking to the community about the potential Bell Boulevard Realignment during the Bell Boulevard Redevelopment Master Planning process, which took place in 2014-2015. 
• Funding for the road realignment was authorized by voters as part of the Streets and Roads bonds in the 2015 General Obligation Bond election.  Cost: $24 million.
• Design from the City is complete for Bell Boulevard (US 183) from Buttercup Creek Boulevard/Old Highway183/Brushy Creek Road to Park Street and plans are currently being reviewed by TxDOT. 
• The current utility work happening on Bell Boulevard began in January 2020.  It is a precursor to the Road Realignment Project construction that will take place on US 183/Bell Boulevard
• The utility undergrounding construction for the Bell Boulevard road realignment is expected to be complete by mid-June, then the construction of the actual roadway is set to begin
• The road realignment is the critical path forward in order to begin construction of the Bell District (Bell Boulevard Redevelopment Project)
• Road construction is planned to begin in summer 2020 and last through 2021.

Funding Source: 2015 Cedar Park Road Bond Funds (phase 1 road realignment)
