N Cummings Drive Rehabilitation

The N Cummings Drive Rehabilitation project will transform the existing two-lane roadway at 1000 County Rd 600 in Alvarado into a divided two-lane road with wide shoulders for future expansion. This $35,000,000 renovation and alteration project, registered with TDLR in January 2026, is a major infrastructure investment in Johnson County. Construction is scheduled to start in July 2027, and completion is targeted for December 2028.

The scope of work includes widening the road, adding sidewalks along both sides, installing turn lanes, and making intersection improvements. The plan also specifies the addition of pedestrian hybrid beacons and a roundabout to enhance safety and accessibility for all users. This comprehensive approach addresses both vehicular flow and pedestrian needs on this key county route.
