Seguin City Council approved an additional $214,713.50 for Pape-Dawson Engineers on Oct. 20 to plan utility relocation for the Cordova Road widening.

The approved work addresses utilities that must be coordinated as the city prepares the road project for letting, according to the city’s staff memo.

Council recordCordova Road utility planning

Seguin City Council approved an additional $214,713.50 for Pape-Dawson Engineers to plan utility relocation for the Cordova Road widening.

City of Seguin ↗

The Oct. 20 council action records additional engineering funding for utility relocation planning.

The planned widening covers Cordova Road from SH 46 to SH 123 and calls for four lanes, a median and shared-use paths. Those are the roadway features described in the city’s project memo; the Oct. 20 action funds additional utility planning rather than reporting a construction start.

The utility timetable

For drivers on Cordova Road, the city’s utility timetable puts AT&T and Charter-Spectrum relocation in June 2027, a milestone in the planned widening. The date is a schedule for utility work, not a stated opening date for the widened road. The staff memo connects the added engineering work to managing that utility schedule.

City staff say the added utility management plan is intended to keep the road project’s letting on schedule. Letting is the step at which a road project is offered for construction bids. The memo gives readers a reason to watch the utility timetable alongside future project notices: the planned relocation and the road procurement schedule are linked.

What the approval covers

The $214,713.50 is an additional amount for Pape-Dawson’s planning work. It should not be read as the cost of widening the entire SH 46-to-SH 123 corridor. The city’s Oct. 20 meeting page places the action in that council session, while the item record documents the approval and the memo describes the work it funds.

The next useful records for corridor users are an updated utility relocation timetable and the city’s road letting notice. Readers can inspect the city’s Cordova Road staff memo for the described route, proposed roadway features and June 2027 utility schedule.
