Traffic Impacted by Water Line Construction The City of Waco will close Wooded Acres Drive between Cobbs Drive and Lake Jackson Drive beginning on Wednesday, June 18. This section is expected to be closed for approximately two weeks depending on weather conditions. Limited access will be permitted to homeowners in the area, but all other traffic will be detoured. The closure is necessary as construction work continues on a new 36-inch water line to connect the Mt. Carmel water treatment plant with the Hillcrest ground storage tank. The construction project is expected to be complete by next summer. During the construction phase, several additional streets will be closed or detoured including: Cobbs from Wooded Acres to Hillcrest, Hillcrest from Cobbs to MacArthur, MacArthur from Hillcrest to Pine, Pine from MacArthur to 32nd and 32nd to the tank site (see map below). The new water line will meet water supply demands while the Riverside treatment plant undergoes future upgrades and will boost the City’s capacity after those improvements are complete.
