Old Waco Road Construction

TEMPLE, TX (October 27, 2025) – UPDATE: Ongoing reconstruction of Old Waco Road from Tarver Drive/Jupiter Drive to Riverside Trail will soon include a detour of Old Waco Road at the intersection with Riverside Trail. Old Waco Road will be closed just south of Riverside Trail from Monday, November 3 to Friday, November 7. This closure is required to build the transition of the new 4-lane roadway construction to connect and tie into the existing 2-lane roadway south of Riverside Trail.

This detour will be in effect for approximately 5 days. Southbound Old Waco Road traffic will be directed to Riverside Trail. Northbound local traffic only will be allowed on Old Waco Road north of South Pea Ridge to the closure at Riverside Trail. Northbound through traffic will be detoured on South Pea Ridge Road north to Crystal Ann Drive or to Charter Oak Drive and then to Riverside Trail. 

All local traffic to residents will continue to have access, and two-way traffic will be maintained on Old Waco Road from the intersection of Riverside Trail north.

Drivers should use caution in the area and pay attention to all traffic control devices.
