Construction on the Agnes Street extension — which will provide east to west connectivity south of Texas 71 — could begin in summer 2022, Bastrop City Manager Paul Hofmann said Tuesday.
The city's proposed timeline was announced less than a week after the Texas General Land Office awarded Bastrop $4.2 million to fund the street extension.
The GLO approved more than $28 million to improve flood mitigation infrastructure in Bastrop, Elgin and Smithville, the state agency announced on May 21. The GLO approved the Agnes Street extension funding in an effort to help first responders reach rapidly-developing areas in southwest Bastrop.
During Tuesday’s Bastrop City Council meeting, Hofmann said the city is estimating it will take 10 months to design the project, before construction can begin
