1. RR 620 improvements
A new auxiliary southbound lane on RR 620—from just north of Lohmans Crossing Road to Spillman Loop in Lakeway—is being added. The project also includes adding pavement at several RR 620 intersections, including Falcon Head and Ladera boulevards, to allow a three-lane approach on the west side of the intersections. This configuration will match the east side of these intersections. Timeline: Aug. 8-late fall/early winter Cost: $1.42 million Funding sources: Texas Department of Transportation
2. Bicycle/pedestrian bridge on MoPac over Barton Creek Greenbelt
Construction is still in progress on a bicycle and pedestrian bridge slated to be completed this summer. Partnering with the city of Austin, TxDOT is constructing the bridge, which has a shared-use path along northbound MoPac lanes over the Barton Creek Greenbelt from one frontage road turnaround to the other near MoPac’s intersections with Southwest Parkway and Loop 360. Remaining work includes bridge abutment, railing and lighting work for the bridge, and sidewalk tie-ins. Timeline: February 2014-fall 2016 Cost: $7.7 million Funding sources: TxDOT, city of Austin
3. Loop 360 entrance/exit lanes
TxDOT is adding extended entrance and exit lanes on Loop 360 to improve intersections with Walsh Tarlton Lane, the Barton Creek Square Mall entrance, MoPac and the intersection just south of MoPac in Austin. A left-turn lane will also be added on the northbound frontage road of MoPac at Loop 360. Timeline: February 2016-spring 2017 Cost: $6.44 million Funding sources: TxDOT
4. 5. RR 620 intersections
TxDOT will add a traffic signal on RR 620 at Dave Drive and a traffic signal at Oak Grove Boulevard in northern Lakeway. Kelli Reyna, TxDOT Austin District public information officer, said the agency routinely studies major intersections to see if signals would be beneficial and determined that the intersections warrant a traffic signal. Timeline: November-May 2017 Cost: $150,000 for each traffic signal totaling $300,000 Funding sources: TxDOT
