(New Braunfels, TX – October 3, 2022) – Harper Brothers Construction, New Braunfels Utilities’ contractor for the McQueeney Road 24-inch Water Line Project, will intermittently close the intersection of McQueeney Road and Merriweather Street, to conduct water line connections, beginning Tuesday, October 4, 2022, with expected completion on Thursday, October 6, 2022.
A subsequent scheduled closure at the intersection of McQueeney Road and Executive Drive to conduct water line connections will begin Tuesday, October 11, 2022, with expected completion on Thursday, October 13, 2022.
Vehicular traffic should expect detour routes. Flagging operations will be in place during this operation.
The McQueeney Road 24-inch Water Line Project will upgrade existing infrastructure by replacing a 12-inch water line along McQueeney Road from County Line Road to the County Line Memorial Trail with 18-inch and 24-inch gravity mains. These improvements will provide additional capacity for future growth in the area. The project began in June 2021 and is budgeted at nearly $3.9 M.
