Road closures
- Mighty Tiger Trail
Mighty Tiger Trail between U.S. 290 and Benney Lane will temporarily close Nov. 21-22. This is to allow the City to make striping modifications to relieve congestion and improve traffic flow. Traffic delays should be minimal as school will not be in session because of Thanksgiving break. Businesses on Benney Lane can be accessed from Sportsplex Road. Please exercise caution when driving through this area when construction is underway. - East Mercer Street
Inclement weather has delayed waterline installation across east Mercer Street to Nov. 20 and 21, according to a city of Dripping Springs press release. The installation, which was to temporarily close east Mercer Street between Ranch Road 12 and U.S. 290 for through traffic Nov. 14 and 15, was moved back due to recent rains. According to the release, the closure would allow the developer of Texas Heritage Village to install a waterline that stretches from the driveway in front of Homespun, across Mercer Street, to the Dripping Springs Water Supply Corporation driveway that is located at the triangle.
