AUSTIN, Texas — The University of Texas just broke ground on their new basketball arena, the Moody Center – and as crews start construction, some roads in the area will be closed.
Starting Wednesday, Red River Street will be partially closed indefinitely but until at least January 2022, from MLK Boulevard to Clyde Littlefield Drive.
Robert Dedman Drive will be closed to through traffic until Jan. 6, from Red River to just south of the 20th Street intersection. Access to the School of Social Work and Swim Center will be via Robert Dedman. An access road to those locations is expected to be installed by Dec. 30. It will allow two-way traffic to access those buildings from Red River.
Phase one of the campus road closures started in November and will last through April 2020. This includes 20th Street being closed to all vehicle traffic.
