The Texas Department of Transportation's Loop 360 mobility project will upgrade multiple intersections on the thoroughfare over the coming months and years in order to improve mobility and safety, including the heavily congested Walsh Tarlton Lane.

The total cost of the project comes from a 2016 $46 million mobility bond provided by the city of Austin combined with a $204 million investment from TxDOT.

TxDOT will host a public workshop for the Walsh Tarlton Lane portion Aug. 8 from 4-6:30 p.m. at Westlake High School's Chap Court, located at 4100 Westbank Drive.

At the workshop, attendees will be able to provide input on the proposed improvements that information from TxDOT states will help guide the planning process.



Information from TxDOT states the Walsh Tarlton portion of the project includes removing the traffic signals on the Loop 360 main lanes at Walsh Tarlton and adding an overpass where the main lanes go over the cross street with nonsignalized U-turns in both directions.

The project also includes adding a shared-use path and sidewalks to improve bicycle and pedestrian accommodations and connections in the project area, according to TxDOT.

The timeline for the Walsh Tarlton portion schedules the environmental, preliminary and final engineering to be complete by early 2025.
