Second Street isn’t paved with gold, but it is seal coated after a week of construction. While the work was being completed, traffic was redirected and parking was altered in certain areas.
The work was part of the city’s Move Street Maintenance Project. The project is part of the 2022 Infrastructure Bond approved by the Council in a public meeting on December 8, 2022. The construction contract was awarded to Texas Road in the amount of $4,094,857.40 in June 2023. The project, which also includes work already done on Mallard and currently in progress on Fourth Street, facilitates numerous improvements, including seal coating, sidewalk reconstruction, street reclamation with new surface asphalt, signage, striping, and traffic control for city streets. The improvements are intended to make the streets safer for Taylor residents and visitors.
