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 September 29, construction begins on North 5th between Hickory and Cypress. Construction continues on Cedar Street between North 3rd and North 5th. Roads are open to thru-traffic with lane closures only. 

Construction has been completed on Cypress Street between North 1st and North 3rd.
