Under Design
Bell Boulevard Realignment Project
The Bell Boulevard (US 183) Realignment Project is proposed by the City of Cedar Park with the cooperation of the Texas Department of Transportation. The project would 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.

New Hope Drive - Ronald Reagan to Sam Bass Road
The design of New Hope Drive from Ronald Reagan Blvd. to Sam Bass Road is a 2015 Bond Funded Project. New Hope Drive will be designed and constructed as 4-lane divided roadway with a raised median, curb and gutter, enclosed storm sewer system, illumination, shared use path, and bike lanes. The design will include all major project components such as engineering, surveying, utility coordination, geotechnical and construction materials testing services, right-of-way acquisition services, environmental assessment, right-of-way appraisals, public involvement, and construction phase services. The City has not identified a source of funds for the construction of this project. However, completing the design gives the City a "shovel ready" project that would potentially be a good candidate for Federal funding assistance in order to construct the improvements.
