Construction is set to begin on Monday, November 2, 2026, on the Gruene Road/Post Road Intersection Improvement Project, a nearly $700,000 roadway and pedestrian enhancement project funded by Roadway Impact Fees collected from new development.

This project includes the realignment of Gruene Road at the Post Road intersection and the conversion of the intersection to a 4-way stop to improve safety and reduce congestion. The project also includes installing new sidewalks and ADA-compliant curb ramps, updating pavement striping, and making minor drainage improvements at the intersection.

Work will be done primarily during the day, from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m., with construction expected to continue through mid-February (weather and other factors permitting). The initial phase of the project is not expected to cause any detours, but drivers should expect general delays in the area due to the ongoing construction.
