Kerrville announces significant road improvement projects

Kerrville is set to begin two infrastructure projects this week, resulting in temporary road closures and traffic adjustments.

Starting Monday, March 24, a portion of Water Street will close to install a fire line near the AC Schreiner house. The closure, which will run from Quinlan Street to Clay Street, is expected to last through Friday, March 28. The southeastern-most entrance to the Butt-Holdsworth Memorial Library on Water Street will also be closed to prevent through traffic. City officials urge drivers to plan alternate routes and apologize for any inconvenience caused by the project.

In a separate effort to maintain city streets, Kerrville will begin its annual slurry seal project on Tuesday, March 18. The process, which involves applying a protective mixture to extend the life of roadways, will require temporary lane closures and parking restrictions on affected streets. Residents are advised to observe posted signs and barricades for their safety.

The slurry seal work will take place on several streets, including Abrowning Drive, Barker Street, and Summit Crest Drive, among others. A detailed schedule of affected streets and timelines is available on the city’s website. Emergency vehicles, postal services, and local residents will have access as needed, but drivers are encouraged to avoid freshly sealed streets until the material has fully cured.

Both projects are part of the city’s ongoing efforts to improve infrastructure and maintain public safety. For more information, residents can contact the Kerrville Public Works Department at (830) 258-1221.
