Road Closure Announced for Rivercrest Drive from Fair Lane to Hillcrest Drive

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

Pesado Construction, NBU’s contractor, will close a section of Rivercrest Drive from Fair Lane to Hillcrest Drive from Monday, October 3, through Friday, October 14, 2022. One-way traffic for residents will be allowed.

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. Schedules are subject to change.

This more than $11.5 million project will provide additional transmission capacity to deliver clean, high-quality drinking water to our community now and decades into the future. The project has an estimated completion date of spring 2023, weather permitting. 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.
