In this image, construction crews can be seen pouring a decorative capital on the bridge bent cap as part of the aesthetic improvements to the US 183 North corridor.

In this image, subgrade is being compacted for driveway construction. This is part of making all existing sidewalks and driveways ADA compliant along the US 183 North corridor.

The 183 North Mobility Project team can be seen pouring the bent cap for a back wall. The bent cap is a structural component that will enable outside widening on the US 183 general purpose lanes.

The construction crew is building the columns that will support the signage along the corridor. These new dynamic messaging signs will provide direction and display express lane pricing.

In this image, a concrete safety barrier (CSB) is taking shape. These barriers help prevent accidents by providing a sturdy physical barrier between workers and potential hazards

Construction crews are inspecting steel rebar in the median of US 183. These inspections ensure structural integrity, safety, and compliance with construction standards.

Construction crews are building bridges and columns along the project corridor. Each beam raised and bridge built will help link communities together.

In this image, crews are seen working on a cantilever retaining wall. Retaining walls help prevent soil erosion, support slopes, and create level surfaces for our construction team.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

From this aerial view, you can see the direct-connector road bridge leading to southbound MoPac under construction. This bridge will help improve mobility as drivers access key neighborhoods and businesses along MoPac.

In this image, the support columns for the collector-distributor road bridge can be seen. These structures are similar to an exit ramp, but are typically longer, and allow commuters to bypass signals at intersections.

Construction crews have successfully completed the addition of a fourth travel lane in both northbound and southbound directions on US 183 to improve traffic flow and ease congestion.

Construction crews are setting precast girder beams on Bridge 12 to support bridge decks and traffic loads. This process involves careful alignment and placement to ensure structural integrity and safety.

Check out the Bidwell machine in action! It's placing and forming continuously reinforced concrete pavement for the new US 183 mainlanes. One of the key advantages of this machine is its role in ensuring the timely completion of the 183 North Mobility Project. =

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.

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.

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.
