West Dittmar Road is open to through traffic from Loganberry Drive to South Congress Avenue starting Feb. 13.

City of Austin workers completed road improvements after erosion damaged a bank of South Boggy Creek in 2012. The road has been closed since April of that year.

"It's been a long-awaited process and we're glad to be able to improve access to the neighborhood," city spokeswoman Alexa Muraida said.

In a Feb. 13 statement, the city's Public Works Department listed the area's improvements as:

  • A limestone stacked wall for stream bank stabilization along South Boggy Creek
  • Drainage maintenance and improvements
  • Concrete traffic railing for stability
  • Guardrail installation for safety
  • Overgrown vegetation removed
  • Pavement repairs completed
  • Newly pavement markings installed
