DRIPPING SPRINGS – Rob Shelton will be closed to through traffic to and from Founders Park Road, beginning soon after Christmas.

The temporary closure is due to construction of a new driveway to Founders Park Pool and the Pound House. Traffic control and detours signs will be put in place this week with closures and paving happening soon after.

This first phase of construction is expected to take about a month to complete. Two-way traffic control will occur during the scheduled period of construction.

Once this first phase is completed, Rob Shelton will reopen, and the second phase of construction will begin, where portions of Founders Park Road will be closed to enable the construction to finish. There will continue to be access to the Pound House and Founders Park during both phases of construction.

The city will provide updates throughout the construction. Please exercise caution when driving through the area.
