A ribbon cutting on Monday will mark the end of improvements to a major Thrall road.
On Feb. 28 at 2 p.m., Williamson County will celebrate the completion of the South Bounds Street project in Thrall. The ceremony will be held in front of Thrall High School, 201 S. Bounds. St.
The project included pavement reconstruction, drainage improvements and an overlay of the road from U.S. 79 to south of East Eckhart Avenue in front of Thrall ISD buildings. Williamson County Precinct 4 Commissioner Russ Boles and other local officials broke ground Nov. 9, 2021.
“When I ran for county commissioner, one of the things I heard loud from the east side of the county was, ‘don’t let the county forget about us’ – and I took that to heart,” said Boles. “I understood exactly what those communities were telling me.”
The design was done by RS&H, and Chasco is the contractor. The project cost was $889,988 and funded through voter-approved 2019 road bonds
“When the Commissioners Court moved forward with a roa bond package, I told the other commissioners that I wanted to put projects on there for my communities on the east side of the county,” said Boles. “So, I am excited to be starting the first of those community projects.”
