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

6. Traffic signal at Lohmans Crossing Road and Lohmans Spur

Construction of a traffic signal at the intersection of Lohmans Crossing Road and Lohmans Spur began in August. City staff was authorized by Lakeway City Council on Feb. 16 to advertise and receive bids for the project.

City Manager Steve Jones said that although few collisions have been recorded at this intersection, more accidents are expected as traffic increases. He said a signal should make Lohmans Spur easier to use, and a traffic study showed a signal was warranted at the intersection. Timeline: April (bids)-fall (completion) Cost: $246,500-$275,000 Funding sources: city of Lakeway Capital Reserve Fund

7. Bee Caves Road upgrades

After numerous delays, the Bee Caves Road improvement project is in the pre-construction phase, with Austin Energy performing necessary utility relocations. Construction is scheduled to begin by the end of 2016. The project will add a 3-mile-long center turn lane, shoulders and a sidewalk on Bee Caves between Redbud Trail and Walsh Tarlton Lane. The city of West Lake Hills acquired the right of way needed to convert the four-lane roadway into a five-lane section. Updates can be found at www.beecaveroadconstruction.com. Timeline: late 2016-2018 Cost: $29 million Funding sources: TxDOT

8. Flint Rock Road

Approximately 2 miles of Flint Rock Road—between RR 620 at Lakeway Regional Medical Center and Serene Hills Drive—will be widened, and an asphalt shoulder added. Flooding forced road closures twice in August in the Hurst Creek area. The construction schedule is being adjusted to accelerate paving by mid-September. Timeline: October 2015-early 2017 Cost: $9.2 million total with 47 percent funded by Lakeway and 53 percent funded by Travis County Funding sources: city of Lakeway, Travis County
