1. New RR 620 lane

A new auxiliary southbound lane on RR 620—from just north of Lohmans Crossing Road to Spillman Loop in Lakeway—will be added this summer. The project also includes adding pavement at several RR 620 intersections, including at Falcon Head Boulevard and Ladera Boulevard, to allow a three-lane approach on the west side of the intersections. This configuration will match the east side of these intersections.

Timeline:  August-November
Cost: $1.42 million
Funding sources: Texas Department of Transportation

2. Loop 360 entrance/exit lanes

The 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

3. 4. 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 in the fall, said Kelli Reyna, TxDOT Austin District public information officer.

She 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

6. Hwy. 71 improvement project

TxDOT has almost completed work on Phase 5, the project’s last phase, which includes the final paving of the project limits from Southwest Parkway to near US 290 in Oak Hill as well as adding striping for a dual left-turn lane from Hwy. 71 to Southwest Parkway. When complete, parts of the project area will consist of five lanes, including two travel lanes in each direction, a dedicated center left-turn lane, shoulders, a new pavement surface and striping.

Cost: $15.9 million

7. MoPac toll lanes

Upon completion the highway will have one new lane in each direction from Parmer Lane to Cesar Chavez Street that will be tolled. Current construction includes bridge widening, building sound walls, installing conduit and cables to support the toll-collection and intelligent transportation systems, and completing the relocation of temporary ramps. The timeline was delayed from a fall 2015 completion to late 2016.

Timeline: late 2013-late 2016
