The road itself will stay open throughout the project, but traffic may be rerouted in some instances. The purpose of the project is to resurface the road with new asphalt.
The first phase will be from Prado Street to Seventh Street, and work will be conducted from 7a.m.-7 p.m. on Saturdays.
The second and longer phase extends from Seventh to Willow Street, with work taking place between 9 a.m.-4 p.m. Monday through Friday and 7 a.m.-7 p.m. on Saturdays. The map below shows the two phases.
The cost of the project is $1.5 million, and construction is slated to take around 10 weeks, as long as there are no weather delays. Throughout the project, cars should not park on the street, and all driveways will be accessible.
The project will be funded by the city's 2018 bond, which totals $160 million and was designated to improve transportation infrastructure. Voters approved the funding in 2018 by passing Proposition G.
The largest percentage of that funding, $66.5 million, will go toward similar road construction projects. It will also fund the replacement of the Red Bud Trail/Emmet Shelton Bridge that goes over Lady Bird Lake.
