The Austin Transportation Department closed the median break on Slaughter Lane in early July at the West Riddle Road intersection permanently to increase safety on the road. Located near the Tanglewood neighborhood in South Austin, temporary delineators were installed to prohibit left turns onto and off of Riddle, according to ATD. A permanent concrete median will be constructed along with additional improvements on Slaughter as part of the city’s corridor program, with construction taking place through 2024.
