Lamar Sidewalk Closure

Beginning on July 7, 2014, North Lamar Boulevard will be reduced to one lane in each direction between 24th and 28th Streets as part of the Shoal Creek Restoration Project. The closure is expected to last four to six weeks.

The lane reduction is needed for the construction of new wastewater lines in the southbound outside lane of Lamar Boulevard. This will allow removal of old sewer pipes currently in the bed of Shoal Creek. All traffic will be diverted to the northbound lanes and there will be a single lane of travel in each direction. A 24 hour per day closure will reduce the duration of the closure, ensure safe travel during construction and protect construction workers. See this map for details. <<austintexas.us7.list-manage1.com/track/click?u=f296756e68ccdf622589570b8&id=5fb7f59f80&e=569bd5a905>>

Expect to see preliminary work in preparation for the 24 hour closure early this week.

Pedestrian and bicycle traffic will also be routed to the granite trail west of Shoal Creek during this period.
