North Austin suburbs are experiencing record growth, leading to notable infrastructure changes worth millions. The surge in population has not only increased traffic congestion but also necessitated more extensive infrastructure across the area. Residents residing in subdivisions along SH 29 have voiced their concerns about driving becoming increasingly perilous and challenging.
In response to this, initiatives have been coordinated involving TxDOT, Liberty Hill, Leander, Georgetown, Williamson County, and various developers to reinforce safety features for the driving community. These initiatives include several road projects attributing to improved safety and navigability— road-widening near Wolf Ranch development, alternate routes accessing I-35, intersection enhancements for seamless turns, and installation of traffic lights to regulate the vehicle speed.
However, traffic isn’t the only consideration arising from the population boom. Water infrastructure is another pressing issue that developers and government officials are actively addressing. Georgetown has announced the construction of the massive South Lake Water Treatment Plant, a $175.3 million infrastructural project that, upon completion, will pump out 44 million gallons of treated water daily. This new infrastructure will supply water to locations outside Georgetown’s jurisdiction, demonstrating the far-reaching impacts of these improvements. These ongoing infrastructural developments pose potential opportunities for new residential developments in North Austin.
