Austin's Public Works Department began making emergency spot
repairs Tuesday to Guadalupe Street from Second to 18th streets to address failing pavement that has resulted from increased bus traffic.
City workers will make repairs Monday through Friday from 8:30 a.m.-4 p.m. northbound, and southbound lane reductions will occur until 4 p.m.
Repairs include removing existing asphalt and subgrade material and replacing it with more robust pavement, according to a news release. These repairs are the first phase of a greater effort to address the failing bus lanes in the Guadalupe corridor. This summer, additional work will continue on Guadalupe Street from Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard to Koenig Lane.
