AUSTIN — Two key traffic construction projects in Austin are making significant headway.
The KVUE Defenders reported in June that MoPac Expressway's sound walls needed replacing after inspectors found cracks. The Defenders uncovered the MoPac Improvement Project that should have ended two years ago likely won't be done until the end of the year. And the woman who spearheaded part of the effort isn't happy with the end result.
This week, crews are reinstalling the final panels of the sound walls.
New video from the Mobility Authority also shows progress along U.S. 183 in Austin. The project, which is on schedule, will add toll lanes to Austin-Bergstrom International Airport.
This video was taken at Loyola Lane and 51st Street. The first phase of the project is scheduled to open in the middle of summer 2019.
