One-Way Traffic Control between Loop 337 and Fair Lane begins Monday, August 29, 2022

(New Braunfels, TX – August 25, 2022) – The New Braunfels Utilities (NBU) Surface Water Treatment Plant Capital Improvement Project continues on schedule with installation of the projects’ 24-inch and 30-inch water line from East Common Street to Gruene Road.

Pesado Construction, NBU’s contractor, will close part of Rivercrest Drive between Loop 337 and Fair Lane beginning Monday, August 29, 2022, through Friday, September 16, 2022, to perform the open-cut pipe installation. One-way traffic control with a detour route on Hillcrest Drive will be in place along Rivercrest Drive. Vehicular traffic should expect delays, varying lane conditions, and flaggers directing traffic. Access to homes and businesses will be maintained for the duration of construction.

Completion of the more than $11.5 million SWTP Project is scheduled for completion in the spring of 2023. This project will provide additional transmission capacity to deliver clean, high-quality drinking water to our community now and decades into the future.

New Braunfels Utilities provides up-to-date traffic impacts for Capital Improvement Projects such as this one on nbutexas.com/current-construction-impacts-and-road-closures.

All work is expected to be completed as scheduled, weather permitting.
