Some of the work being done as part of the $674 million Oak Hill Parkway project will wrap up while new sections will break ground in 2023.
The project, which will widen the road up to 12 lanes from Hwy. 290 to Hwy. 71 and add two flyovers, broke ground in 2021. In 2023, the intersection of Hwy. 290 and William Cannon Drive will be restored to normal use with left-turn lanes before the driver reaches the intersection, said Brad Wheelis, Texas Department of Transportation public information officer. McCarty Lane and Joe Tanner Lane will reopen.
Work will begin at Old Bee Caves Road at Hwy. 290 in the summer and close the intersection for about six months. Drivers westbound on Hwy. 290 will continue onto Hwy. 71 and detour onto Fletcher Lane to access Old Bee Caves Road.
In 2023, the sound wall near the Ridgeview neighborhood will be completed and work will begin on ground-level bridges on the cross streets of Convict Hill Road, RM 1826, Scenic Brook Drive and Circle Drive, Wheelis said. Work on the Hwy. 290 frontage roads will also continue.
