Sidewalk improvements are happening along the US 183 North corridor. All existing sidewalks along the frontage roads will be updated to be ADA compliant and crews will be adding sidewalks where none exist along the US 183 northbound and southbound frontage roads from RM 620/SH 45N to Loop 360.

Bridge and column construction is taking place near Balcones Woods Drive. Bridges will have decorative columns and capitals as well as similar aesthetics for signs structures and lighting bases. Additionally, all rehabilitated bridges will receive new color coatings to provide a consistent but revitalized look.

Pictured in this image is soil nail wall construction at Great Hills South. Soil nailing is a form of soil and retaining wall reinforcement that uses “soil nails” rather than a physical retaining wall. Soil nailing is usually found along hills and slopes.

The 183 North Mobility Project team is hard at work to bring safer and more reliable transit to the US 183 corridor. In an effort to be a good neighbor, the Mobility Authority is committed to limiting inconveniences during nightly construction including noise level and environmental disruptions.

The 183 North Mobility Project has begun work on bicycle and pedestrian crossings. Pictured in this image is construction on a bicycle and pedestrian sidewalk crossing underpass. The 183 North Mobility Project will provide safe connectivity for bicyclists and pedestrians throughout the corridor, closing existing gaps to provide a network of continuous bike lanes available to cyclists traveling between SH 45 North and MoPac.

Nightly construction work is making progess as the overhead sign bridge on the southbound mainlanes of US 183 starts coming together. As nightly construction takes off, the Mobility Authority is committed to planning the majority of traffic-impacting activites and mainlane closures during off-peak times when possible.

GHC vehicles are gearing up for work as part of the 183 North Mobility Project. The 183 North Mobility Project aims to improve mobility, reduce congestion and provide more reliable travel times for transit and emergency responders along the nine-mile stretch of US 183 between SH 45 North and MoPac.

Column work for bridge connectivity is in progress. The 183 North Mobility Project will provide direct access from the southbound 183 Express Lanes to southbound Loop 1 (MoPac), and from the northbound MoPac Express Lane to northbound 183 Express Lanes. This means that traffic movement in the express lanes between MoPac and US 183 North will be uninterrupted, reducing possible traffic impacts and delays.

The 183 North Mobility Project is hard at work making improvements to the US 183 corridor. Construction workers are carefully monitoring current conditions and safekeeping of roadway facilities. In this picture construction workers are repairing a damaged guardrail to maintain safety along the corridor.

In this photo, drilled shaft reinforcing placement is occurring for the bridge at McNeil between the US 183 NB and SB mainlanes. Drilled shaft reinforcement is a deep foundation solution used to support bridge structures.

In this photo concrete is being poured into a drilled shaft for construction of the direct connector which will be from the southbound 183 Express Lanes to southbound Loop 1 (MoPac), and from the northbound MoPac Express Lane to northbound 183 Express Lanes. This connection means that traffic movement in the express lanes between MoPac and US 183 will be uninterrupted, reducing possible traffic impacts and delays.

Bent cap steel bridge reconstruction is occurring at Balcones Woods Drive along the US 183 corridor. A bridge bent cap is a horizontal substructure element that acts as support for the bridge.

The 183 North Mobility Project Team values our business community and aims to minimize impacts from construction wherever feasible. Our outreach team has already begun working with individual businesses to alert them to the driveway reconstruction schedule and to offer "Open for Business" signage, where needed, at no charge to the business.

Business driveway entrances along the frontage roads on US 183 northbound, southbound, and MoPac southbound are being reconstructed to accommodate the new sidewalks that are included in the 183 North Mobility Project. When the project is complete sidewalks will be ADA-compliant and continuous along the 183 North corridor and will be widened to up to 5-feet-wide.

Improvements are underway at the RM-620 turnaround. Great Hills Constructors, in partnership with CTRMA, are building access ramps to the median for construction vehicles, thereby reducing the potential for future traffic delays.

The 183 North Mobility Project will improve cross street bicycle and pedestrian connections, as well as add sidewalks compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) along the US 183 frontage roads in locations where sidewalks do not currently exist.

Traffic congestion along US 183 between SH 45 North and MoPac is a major issue, especially during peak rush hour periods. The 183 North project aims to provide less congestion and more reliable travel with the addition of two tolled express lanes in each direction and non-tolled general purpose lane improvements.

Tolls will be waived for Capital Metro buses on the completed 183 North Mobility Project Express Lanes. The project's aim to reduce congestion will also mean more reliable travel times for public transit.

As part of the 183 North Mobility Project, operational improvements will be made to MoPac that include express lane direct connectors from the southbound US 183 managed lanes to a new southbound non-tolled collector-distributor roadway providing direct/bypass access to W. Anderson Lane/Spicewood Springs Road and Far West Boulevard. 

The 183 North corridor provides access to downtown Austin, as well as businesses, major employment centers, religious institutions, schools, parks and trails, recreational centers, and residential areas, all of which would benefit from a reduction in congestion and reliable travel times for drivers, transit and emergency responders.

Traffic congestion along the nine-mile stretch of US 183 between SH 45 North and MoPac is a major issue. Four improved non-tolled general-purpose lanes in each direction and two tolled express lanes in each direction will reduce travel times and improve mobility for commuters, local drivers, and visitors to the region.

To improve safety, optimize system connectivity and enhance local mobility along the US 183 corridor, the 183 North Mobility Project will construct two tolled express lanes and add a fourth general-purpose lane in areas where there are only three.

Tolls will be waived for Capital Metro buses on the completed 183 North Mobility Project Express Lanes. New and repaired sidewalks compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) will also improve bus stop accessibility.

The 183 North Mobility Project will include improvements to cross street connections for bicyclists consisting of bike lanes in each direction, created by re-striping the existing cross street pavement.

The 183 North Mobility Project will provide safe connectivity for bicyclists throughout the corridor, closing existing gaps to provide a network of continuous bike lanes available to cyclists traveling between SH 45 North and MoPac.

The 183 North Mobility Project will improve and add sidewalks and business driveways where Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) compliant facilities do not currently exist.

In addition to adding express lanes, the 183 North Mobility Project will improve the non-tolled portions of US 183 by adding a fourth general-purpose lane in areas where only three currently exist.

The 183 North Mobility Project is being constructed by the Central Texas Regional Mobility Authority to improve safety, optimize system connectivity and enhance local mobility along the US 183 corridor.

The 183 North Mobility Project extends 9 miles from SH 45 North to MoPac in northwest Austin and will reduce travel times and improve mobility for commuters, local drivers, visitors to the region, and people who prefer to use public transit, ride their bike or walk.

The 183 North Mobility Project limits the proposed roadway improvements to within the existing right-of-way. Express lanes will be constructed where the current median exists now.
