Cameron Road Water and Wastewater Improvements

The Cameron Road Water and Wastewater Improvements project involves the installation of new water and wastewater lines along a multi-block stretch of Cameron Road in Austin. The work extends to Broadmoor Drive, Sheridan Avenue, and Clayton Lane, with an estimated cost of $10,111,423. This investment places the project in the top quarter of new construction filings in Travis County, covering associated pavement and sidewalk repairs to restore the street surface.

Project Scope and Design

BGE, Inc. serves as the design firm of record for this new construction effort. The scope specifically targets the intersection of Cameron Road and Broadmoor Drive, as well as the segment of Sheridan Avenue between Reinli Street and Clayton Lane. Additionally, the project covers Clayton Lane from Sheridan Avenue to the alley east of IH-35 and the US-290 frontage road at La Calma Drive. These upgrades are designed to enhance the capacity and reliability of the local water and wastewater systems in the Austin area.

Registered with the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation in September 2026, the project is in a pending plan review status. Construction is scheduled to begin in October 2026, with completion targeted for December 2027. This timeline reflects a scheduled build window of 456 days, which is longer than the county median of 304 days for similar new construction projects. The extended duration accounts for the complexity of coordinating utility work across multiple intersecting streets and the necessary public land adjustments.

The site is located in ZIP code 78723, a neighborhood with a population of about 37,000 residents. According to U.S. Census American Community Survey estimates, the median household income in this area is $81,986, and the median owner-occupied home value stands at $456,100. The housing stock in the ZIP code is an even mix of owner- and renter-occupied units, indicating a diverse residential community that will rely on the upgraded infrastructure. The project involves public funds and is situated on public land, ensuring that the improvements serve the broader municipal needs of Travis County residents.

The City of Austin has six other TDLR-registered projects totaling $4,265,000, including work at Austin-Bergstrom International Airport and along Rundberg Lane. The Cameron Road Water and Wastewater Improvements is the largest of these concurrent municipal projects, reflecting a significant investment in the city's utility network.
