183 North Over the course of construction there will be major activities that will impact the region. As those activities are scheduled, we will keep the community updated.
Surface Grinding
Beginning in late April 2022 and continuing over the next several months, crews will begin surface grinding work on the US 183 mainlanes as a part of Phase 1 in a multi-phased approach to resurface the existing roadway along the 183 North Mobility Project corridor. As a result, rolling closures will begin on southbound US 183 mainlanes as work travels southbound along US 183 in two-mile segments. The closures are anticipated nightly between the hours of 9 p.m. to 5 a.m. Monday–Thursday and 9 p.m. to 8 a.m. Friday–Saturday. Night lighting will be used to keep workers safe, and the noise levels anticipated from the resurfacing of the roadway will stay within OSHA guidelines, and be about the sound of garbage truck. This specific work is only temporary and will lead to a smoother and more comfortable ride on US 183. As always, if you have questions or concerns, reach out via the Contact Us button below.
Approximate order of general work locations on southbound US 183:

Frontage Road Activities
Crews have begun utility relocations, sidewalk reconstruction and related business driveway reconstructions along the corridor. All existing sidewalks along the frontage roads will be updated to be ADA compliant and crews will be adding sidewalks where none exist between SH 45/RM 620 and Loop 360. Currently, there is a long-term closure along the right lane of the southbound MoPac frontage road between US 183 and Steck Ave. that will last approximately nine months and is needed to perform utility relocations, sidewalk and driveway construction. The utility relocations are being implemented first. For more information about our plan to improve the bike and pedestrian facilities along the project corridor go here.
U-Turn Closure at RM 620
We have closed the U.S. 183 U-turn just south of RM 620, for the U.S. 183 northbound to southbound traffic movement. Drivers traveling northbound and needing to turnaround and travel southbound on U.S. 183 or the frontage road, will be able to turn left at the traffic light at the RM 620 intersection, instead of using the U-turn. The closure of the U-turn will be continuous, 24 hours a day, seven days a week and will last approximately one year. The purpose of the closure is to allow construction vehicles and crews access to the center median between the northbound and southbound lanes of U.S. 183 to minimize interference with traffic on the mainlanes, to facilitate the construction of Phase 1 for the project. This access increases safety and reduces the potential for traffic delays from construction vehicle traffic entering and exiting the roadway. Entrance to the U-turn will be signed as “Construction Traffic Only” with additional signage advising drivers to turn left at the intersection. *Dates are subject to change based on weather and other circumstances.
