📰About Old Howard Rd

The City of Temple is undertaking the realignment of Old Howard Road, a new construction project estimated at $11,300,000. The work begins at 3500 Moores Mill Road in Temple, Texas, and covers a total area of 533,827 square feet. KPA Engineers serves as the design firm of record for this significant roadway improvement in Bell County.

Project Scope and Status

Registered with the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation (TDLR) in April 2025, the project is in the plan review phase. Construction is scheduled to start in June 2025, with completion targeted for February 2027. The registered accessibility specialist for this filing is Steven E Rinehart. The project utilizes public funds and involves public land, consistent with its nature as a Federally funded roadway project.

The estimated cost of $11,300,000 places this project above the median estimated cost for new construction filings in Bell County. While the median cost for similar projects in the county is $850,000, this realignment is a larger infrastructure effort. The calculated cost per square foot is $21, which is below the county median of $151 per square foot. The scheduled build window of 610 days is longer than the county median of 242 days, reflecting the complexity of roadway realignment work.

KPA Engineers has six other TDLR-registered projects totaling $20,714,019, including the Wendland Road Extension and Power Drive project in Temple. The City of Temple has six other registered projects totaling $12,047,275, such as the Hog Pen Creek Trail and West Temple Park improvement. These projects indicate a consistent pattern of public infrastructure development in the region.

Local coverage from kcentv.com has noted concerns among neighbors regarding fires along Old Howard Road in recent weeks, though this is separate from the construction filing. The project is part of a broader solicitation that includes Wendland Road and Northlink Drive improvements, as noted in a HigherGov listing. The area profile for ZIP code 76504 shows a population of about 24,856 and a median household income of $50,420, according to U.S. Census estimates. This context helps frame the scale of the investment relative to the local community.
