In 2016, Austin voters approved $720 million for transportation and mobility improvements throughout Austin. The majority of that funding, $482 million, was earmarked for corridor mobility improvements.
With that funding, the City is designing and constructing mobility, safety and connectivity improvements on nine key corridors. Those corridors are:
Austin City Council adopted a Corridor Construction Program in April 2018 that prioritizes the corridor improvements for funding. The design phase of the Corridor Construction Program is currently underway and could last 12 to 36 months, depending on the project. The design phase includes preliminary engineering activities, such as land surveys, refinements to the mobility improvements, updates to cost estimates and public input.
City staff will return to City Council in spring 2019 to provide an update on preliminary engineering. At that time, City staff will seek City Council approval to proceed with full design.
The City will post future public open house dates for the remaining corridors at AustinTexas.gov/WhatsNew.
