Westlake Homebuyers Receive Update on Bee Cave Road Construction

Posted by Brian Talley on October 3rd, 2017

Those considering a Westlake home for sale may have questions about the ongoing construction along Bee Cave Road, which is also known as RM 2244 and is a main thoroughfare for Westlake homes and for the Lake Austin and West Austin corridor. As many Westlake homes for sale require commutes along this popular road, as well as many Eanes Independent School District commutes, it is important to keep up to date on progress with the construction.

The Texas Department of Transportation recently released an updated report affecting Westlake homes. Residents and commuters in Westlake were advised that TxDOT crews will be removing and trimming trees in several areas. First up will be the removal and trimming of trees along the first 300 feet of Buckeye Trail. This is to prepare for an upcoming installation of a new and upgraded waterline. The next area of Westlake homes to be affected is the first 100 feet of Westhaven Drive, followed by the first 150 feet of McConnell Drive.

Once the tree trimming and removal is complete along these three stretches of road, actual roadwork will begin in order to level the height alignment of these streets to match what will be the elevation of Bee Cave Road. Those searching for
Westlake homes for sale should be aware that, as a result of this construction, some Westlake neighborhoods might not appear the same as they will after construction is complete.

If searching for a Westlake home for sale during daytime hours, TxDOT advised that school zone hours are in effect from Monday through Friday at two times: from 6:50 a.m. to 7:40 a.m. and from 2:40 p.m. to 3:15 p.m.

Those purchasing or in the process of searching for a Westlake home for sale should be aware that construction is expected to be complete in the summer of 2019.
