Limits: IH 35 Frontage Road to Purple Martin Avenue
Project Updates
Summer 2026
Construction continues with Phase 1B excavation along the roadway realignment footprint, subgrade grading, fence gate installation at the Dacy property easement, and installation of stormwater trunklines, manholes, and inlets.
Upcoming work includes widening the existing bridge-class culvert, installation of utility infrastructure, continued water and sewer improvements, and utility relocation.
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

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.

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.
