A new construction project expected to relieve traffic on East Parmer Lane in North Austin broke ground Feb. 16.
The project will extend a 0.75-mile segment of East Braker Lane from its current endpoint at Dawes Place to Samsung Boulevard, past Pioneer Crossing Elementary School.
The newly constructed four-lane road will include bike lanes and sidewalks in both directions, a pedestrian crosswalk near the school, and center turn lanes for drivers turning left onto Taebaek Drive or Samsung Boulevard.
The project, led by the Capital Delivery Services department, costs $27 million and will take about two years to complete.
