Immanuel Road widening starts next month

Road crews across Pflugerville and Hutto are advancing several infrastructure projects as of late October 2026. The most notable upcoming change involves the widening of a major residential corridor.

Pflugerville plans to begin construction in November on a project to widen Immanuel Road. The work will reconstruct the existing two-lane segment between Pecan Street and Killingsworth Lane into a three-lane road. The project scope includes installing new curbs and gutters, updating intersections, adding street lighting, and building underground storm infrastructure. Shared-use paths will also be constructed along the route.

Construction is already underway at the intersection of FM 685 and Kelly Lane in Pflugerville. Work started on October 26 following the city council's approval of a contract with Joe Bland Construction on August 11. The project will create dedicated left-turn and U-turn lanes and modify traffic signals. When finished, both frontage roads will feature two straight lanes, two left-turn lanes that double as turnaround lanes, and one right-turn lane.

In Hutto, the Hutto Economic Development Corporation approved an additional $617,000 in October for materials required at the intersection of CR 137 and FM 1660. The funds cover costs arising from recent redesign efforts for the intersection. The project involves adding lanes and building a roundabout at the crossing.

Crews are also actively working on infrastructure improvements in the Historic Colored Addition neighborhood in Pflugerville. The project entails a full reconstruction of existing roads within the area. New roads will include curbs, gutters, underwater storm drains, and sidewalks.

The East Pflugerville Parkway widening project is progressing from Colorado Sand Drive to Weiss Lane. This expansion will increase the road to four lanes. As a result, the southwest side of the Lake Pflugerville Trail will be closed to users from October 19 through January. The closure allows crews to complete trail improvements alongside the road work.

Design for the SH 130 frontage road connections was largely completed in late summer. The project will build northbound and southbound frontage roads for SH 130. The new roads will extend from north of Limmer Loop to south of CR 118.
