Downtown Street Improvements (CBD Project)

Downtown Abilene’s Central Business District streets will undergo a major rehab and reconstruction during 2020 and 2021, a project funded through the 2015 bond package. This work will affect downtown streets spanning from Hickory to Walnut, and North 6th to (but not including) North 1st.

As of June 23rd, construction continues on Cypress Street between North 3rd and North 5th, and North 5th between Cypress and Pine. Roads are open to thru-traffic with lane closures only.

Construction has been completed on Pine Street between North 3rd & North 6th.

The streets on this map in red are those that will be worked on during the CBD project. Street sections in orange are those currently undergoing work. Completed street sections will be colored green.
