Middle Creek DRIVE Rehabilitation
project status
Middle Creek Drive Rehabilitation will address ground water and irrigation system infiltration and pavement rehabilitation, including crack sealing, reconstruction, and a thin mill and overlay for portions of the roadway.
Contracted Firm: K Friese + Associate
Current Status:
The City’s geotechnical consultant completed the soil sampling and testing. The geotechnical firm also installed and gathered groundwater data using Piezometers (subsurface water level monitoring equipment) along Middle Creek Drive to monitor, record, and document groundwater levels.
K Friese + Associates has evaluated the collected data and developed a recommendation to rehabilitate Middle Creek Drive. The recommendation includes installing a perforated pipe along the roadway to intercept the groundwater and convey the water to nearby stormwater inlets. The recommendation also includes providing for private connections at property lines – homeowners will have the option to connect from their individual sump pumps through their property to the stormwater connections.
K Friese + Associates presented the recommendations at a Whispering Hollow and public stakeholder meeting on Jan. 17, 2024 at Buda City Hall. A virtual open house was also held for the public’s viewing and comment, view the materials here. Stakeholder input has and will guide the project as it moves through design.
The Buda Bonds Oversight Committee reviewed the Middle Creek Drive project in February 2024 and endorsed the proposed design. City Council reviewed the preliminary design on Mar. 19, 2024. View the Middle Creek Drive City Council presentation here.
Final design began in July 2024 and bidding is expected to occur Summer 2025. The design is currently at the 60% design level and progressing to 90% complete.
