Highland Village Road at the I-35E frontage road is currently considered part of AGL Constructor’s responsibility as they build the new I-35E bridge. This is good for us in that AGL will be re-constructing that portion of Highland Village Road, raising it to meet the new frontage road. AGL must maintain and consider all safety aspects of the roads within their construction project.

Since Highland Village Road is only two lanes with no shoulder and the lake levels are right at the road border, the safety of drivers travelling the road has to be addressed. The City is working with AGL to allow us the opportunity to provide for safe travel.

We are doing that by reducing the speed limit in that area to 20 mph, placing electronic message boards reminding travelers to slow down through the area and we will use all our communication and enforcement tools to encourage travelers to slow down in the area.

One accident or mishap could cause the road to be closed indefinitely. Please encourage your neighbors and friends to use caution in this area. A little caution and slower travel through that area is worth it to keep the road open.
