Leonard-Groesbeck Road Widening

City Job No. 332-411-425-611-DE-2417

As development continues to expand on the west side of Bryan, improving transportation infrastructure is important to keep the community connected and moving safely. The Leonard/Groesbeck project is part of the City’s effort to support this growth by upgrading a key roadway that serves residents, businesses, and daily commuters.

The project area extends along Leonard Road / Groesbeck Road from Harvey Mitchell Parkway (FM 2818) to the recently constructed roundabout at Palasota and Groesbeck, covering approximately two miles. This corridor currently consists of an asphalt roadway with roadside drainage ditches and overhead and underground utilities.

Planned upgrades will modernize the roadway to better serve current and future needs. The project includes reconstruction of the existing roadway to wider concrete streets with a sidewalk and a shared use path improve safety and accessibility for all users. Drainage improvements are also planned, replacing existing open roadside ditches with curb and guttered streets that convey water to underground storm sewer system to enhance stormwater reliability and reduce maintenance.

The project is being coordinated with Texas Department of Transportation, as Leonard Road connects directly to FM 1688 at Harvey Mitchell Parkway. This coordination helps ensure that improvements align with future roadway projects in the area.

Groesbeck Street Extension

City Job No. 332-D3-2330

This project is envisioned as a key piece to regional mobility providing a connection to University Drive to the East and SH 47 to the West utilizing Groesbeck and Leonard Roads to connect to SH 47. The proposed road section is a 38-foot wide, three lane minor collector with center two-way turn lane, curb and gutter with a sidewalk and shared use path and an urban storm sewer system with standard roadway lighting. The project will include a traffic signal installation at the Texas Avenue intersection.

Groesbeck Street Rail Road Crossing

City Job No. 332-D3-1818

This project includes the design & reconstruction of Groesbeck Street from Finfeather Rd to South Main St, the construction of two new traffic signals located at either end of the Groesbeck Street segment, and the interconnection of the new traffic signals with the railroad crossing gates control system.

Hardy Weedon Traffic Signal & Road Improvement Phase 1

City Job No. 332-DE-2203

This project includes the reconstruction of approximately 3,000 LF of Hardy Weedon Road from its intersection with State Highway 30 to the city limits at Reveille Estates as well as the installation of a traffic signal at the intersection of Hardy Weedon Road and State Highway 30. Phase 1 includes the traffic signal installation and a short section of road reconstruction. Phase 2, which will extend the reconstruction to the city limits will be constructed at a later date.

Starting Monday, Feb. 2, 2026, Hardy Weedon Road was closed at its intersection with State Highway 30 for this project. A detour was in place to take drivers through the new phase of the Yaupon Trails development, using Minyard Pass and Berry Branch Lane. Hardy Weedon Road is open as of early April 2026 and no additional closures will be required. The City is awaiting delivery of traffic signal poles. They are estimated to arrive in August 2026. The new signal will provide safer access to and from Highway 30, since traffic has increased due to residential growth along Hardy Weedon. Work on the traffic signal is expected to be completed by the end of September 2026.
