This project scope is for the construction of Ross Road North only. Ross Road South is being designed under the jurisdiction of Travis County. The proposed improvements are focused on reducing congestion and enhancing safety by improving vehicular traffic flow, reducing delays at intersection points, providing alternative modes of transportation, and reducing the number of collision points. The proposed improvements include: • Expansion of Ross Road North to include two lanes in each direction; addition of left turn pockets at key intersections; addition of curb and gutter to prevent roadside shoulder erosion. • Construction of sidewalks and shared use paths; addition of buffered bicycle lanes; construction of  Item 2 Water & Wastewater Commission: February 19, 2025 Council: February 27, 2025 median refuge areas to provide protected midpoint crossing intersections for pedestrians. • Addition of traffic signals; new pavement markings; addition of continuous roadway lighting. • A closed storm drain system to allow the project to be built within the existing right-of-way while accommodating the wider pavement section and shared use paths. • Relocation of Austin Water pipes that either conflict with the proposed improvements or are provided as a betterment to increase capacity of water and wastewater services in this rapidly growing area. Austin Water’s portion of this project consists of replacing 890 linear feet of 6-inch, 103 linear feet of 8-inch, 1,515 linear feet of 12-inch, 101 linear feet of 16-inch, and 7,500 linear feet of 24-inch ductile iron water pipe; and 91 linear feet of 12-inch, 1,470 linear feet of 24-inch, and 4,445 linear feet of 30-inch polyvinyl chloride wastewater pipe.

An allowance is an amount that is specified and included in the construction contract or specifications for a certain item(s) of work when details are not determined at the time of bidding. This project is funded by the 2020 Mobility Bond. Due to the potential for unforeseen circumstances or physical project conditions, a 10% contingency in funding has been included to allow for the expeditious processing of any change orders to cover any unforeseen construction cost associated with the project. By authorizing the additional contingency funding, Council is authorizing any change orders within the contingency amount. The project will require temporary lane closures and/or detours.
