🌱 RM 620/Deepwood Drive Lane Closures + Car On Fire At Wendy's?

Good morning, neighbors! Rose Mendez here with a fresh Round Rock Daily.

First, today's weather:

Warmer with plenty of sun. High: 62 Low: 37.

Here are the top three stories today in Round Rock:

1. Lane closures are scheduled tonight, Mar. 9, at RM 620/Deepwood Drive intersection from 8 p.m. to 5 a.m. due to storm drain construction across Deepwood Drive. All traffic will be on one side of the road to allow for two-way traffic. After the northbound lanes of Deepwood Drive are complete, traffic will shift to the southbound lanes, according to the City. (City of Round Rock)
2. On Saturday, Mar. 12, from 10:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. the Round Rock Express and RS3 Strategic Hospitality will host a job fair at the United Heritage Center at Dell Diamond. They are currently seeking game day and event staff for the upcoming 2022 Minor League Baseball season. (Press Release Desk)
3. On Mar 4, local customer Juan Duran posted a clip on Tik Tok that now has over 800,000 views. The clip shows a red Lincoln Navigator on fire at a Wendy's drive-thru in Round Rock. Then it shows Duran ordering his food before informing the Wendy's employee about the car on fire in the parking lot. The employee responded, "OK." (Newsweek)
