Build Garland: Downtown Construction

The infrastructure work of Phase 2 continues. The intersection at Fifth and State streets is closed and Fifth Street between Main and State streets continues to remain closed for the first few months of this phase. The segment of State Street between Fifth and Sixth streets will remain closed for approximately five to six months as infrastructure work is in progress. The intersection of State and Fifth streets is expected to open in early November.

The next wave of infrastructure work is expected to begin in early October at the Sixth and State streets intersection. The intersections of State Street at both Fifth and Sixth streets will be closed simultaneously beginning in early October for approximately one month. We also have some great news! The crosswalk at the intersection of Seventh and Austin streets is now complete and open for public use.

During this time, businesses will remain open and so will the adjacent sidewalks. Construction in the Downtown area is expected to last through 2023. We are grateful for your patience during this time. Please remember to support our Downtown businesses as they remain open and plenty of parking is available throughout construction.
