AUSTIN, Texas — Construction crews working on safety improvements near the intersection of South Congress Avenue and Stassney Lane will begin a new phase of the project on Monday.
Starting Monday, crews will begin work on the south side of Stassney Lane.
The project is funded by the City of Austin Mobility Bond funds and Capital Metro and is in partnership with the Texas Department of Transportation. Crews have been working since May on improvements to the roughly half-mile stretch of road along South Congress, between Mockingbird and Little Texas lanes.
Some of the upgrades crews are adding to the half-mile stretch include raised concrete medians on Congress Avenue, new separated bicycle and pedestrian paths, restriped high-visibility crosswalks and new Americans with Disabilities Act-compliant curb ramps.
Work on the project is expected to take roughly 10 to 11 months from groundbreaking, essentially meaning it's expected to be completed by March or April of 2024.
