WINDY HILL ROAD

Limits: IH 35 Frontage Road to Purple Martin Avenue

Project Updates

Updated Weekly

Construction continues along the roadway realignment area. Crews are working on the new roadway, including grading, building up the road base, and installing storm drainage pipes, inlets and manholes. Work is also underway to widen the existing culvert near the eastern end of the project.

Utility work includes installing new underground infrastructure, including utility lines and equipment, as well as fiber installation between the roundabout and IH-35. On October 20, 2026, City Council decided to proceed with a green T signalized intersection at Windy Hill Road and Cherrywood, requiring a redesign of that intersection.

Upcoming work includes water and sewer improvements along Goforth Road, continued roadway and drainage work, and utility relocations. Crews will continue working around the existing gas line. Work at the intersection is paused while City Council completes its ongoing review. Construction is expected to be completed by Late Summer 2027.

Overview

The project will expand the roadway to four lanes, improve intersections, extend the culvert at the Richmond Branch low water crossing, and add modern drainage facilities. Once complete, this investment will provide a safer, more efficient roadway that supports Kyle’s continued growth.

2022 Road Bond Update

Per City Council direction on July 7, 2026, updated traffic studies are underway to reevaluate intersections throughout the City of Kyle. Pedestrian facilities are also being evaluated. Based on the analysis, Council has approved a continuous Green T. intersection at Windy Hill Road and Cherrywood, requiring new project designs. Council has made decisions on six of the 12 intersections under review, with recommendations for the remaining intersections pending Council approval. Due to these ongoing evaluations, current plans and project timelines are subject to change. Updated construction timelines are coming soon.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • In November 2022, Kyle voters approved Proposition A, authorizing $294.4 million in funding to construct, expand, and upgrade roadways and infrastructure across the city. Proposition A in the 2022 Road Bond Program includes eight roadway projects totaling 10.3 miles. These projects support current and long-term growth in the City of Kyle by increasing mobility, reducing congestion, enhancing safety, and strengthening community connectivity for drivers and pedestrians. More information is available at KyleRoadBonds.com. 

  • The Windy Hill Road Improvement Project will reconstruct and widen the existing roadway while addressing drainage and flooding concerns through culvert and stormwater upgrades. The project also includes intersection improvements at Cherrywood to enhance safety and traffic operations. Once complete, these enhancements will improve traffic flow, increase safety, and provide long-term reliability for this important east-west connection. 

  • The project extends approximately 0.6 miles from IH 35 Northbound Frontage Road to Purple Martin Avenue. This section of Windy Hill Road serves as an important east-west connector between residential neighborhoods and IH 35. 

  • The planned improvements include: 

    • Widening the roadway for two travel lanes in each direction, along with dedicated center turn lane to accommodate higher traffic volume 

    • New pedestrian facilities to improve safety and mobility for all users   

    • Construction of intersection improvements at Cherrywood to enhance safety and traffic operations  

    • Improved drainage infrastructure through construction of storm sewer and culvert extensions helping manage stormwater more efficiently and protect the roadway 

  • Windy Hill Road currently experiences capacity limitations, safety challenges, and drainage issues due to increased traffic and aging infrastructure. These improvements will enhance safety, improve traffic flow, and address flood-prone areas to ensure the roadway meets both current and future transportation needs. 

  • The Windy Hill Road Improvement Project is funded through the City of Kyle's 2022 Road Bond Program (Proposition A), approved by Kyle voters in November 2022. Proposition A authorized $294.4 million in funding to construct, expand, and upgrade roadways and infrastructure across the city, with eight roadway projects totaling 10.3 miles. The estimated construction cost for the Windy Hill Road project is $15.1 million. Cost includes project design, right-of-way acquisition, utility coordination, and construction. More information about the Road Bond Program is available at KyleRoadBonds.com. 

  • Preliminary analysis for the Windy Hill Road Improvement Project began in 2024. Design and environmental analysis are complete, and construction is currently underway. Construction is anticipated to be complete in Summer 2027. 

  • Residents and drivers along Windy Hill Road can expect temporary lane restrictions, construction equipment in the roadway, and some delays during active work hours. Driveway and property access will be maintained throughout construction. The reconstruction of the Richmond Branch low water crossing may require temporary restrictions to that segment during key phases of work. All impacts will be communicated in advance through posted signage and updates at KyleRoadBonds.com. Once complete, the improved low water crossing will significantly reduce flooding that has historically caused road closures during heavy rain events, providing a more reliable route for residents year-round. 

  • Before construction begins, "Coming Soon" signs will be placed along the roadway to notify the community of upcoming work. The project team will continue coordinating with utility providers and finalizing construction schedules to minimize disruptions. Once construction begins, the City's Road Bond Website will share regular updates on traffic impacts, detours, and progress milestones. Residents are encouraged to join the Road Bond Program Newsletter for digital updates to stay informed and prepared throughout each stage of the project.
