New Braunfels City Council unanimously approved a first reading Nov. 9 that would limit construction work to 7 a.m.–6 p.m. weekdays and 9 a.m.–5 p.m. Saturdays, with no work Sundays or city holidays.
The Nov. 9 action was a first reading, and the proposed hours are not yet in effect. Council has scheduled a second and final reading for its special meeting Monday, Nov. 16.

What the proposed limits mean
If adopted on final reading, the proposed limits would affect construction crews and residents near work sites in New Braunfels.
The weekday window would start at 7 a.m. and end at 6 p.m. Saturday work would start two hours later, at 9 a.m., and stop at 5 p.m. The first-reading motion also bars work on Sundays and city holidays. Those are proposed limits until the council completes its final reading.
Council also considered a narrower holiday restriction. An amendment that would have limited the no-work holidays failed, with two members voting for it. The approved first-reading motion retained the broader city-holiday language.
