Austin lane closed for nearly 2 years without any roadwork
SUMMARY: Michael Reyes, an Austin native, has observed significant changes over time on roads like East Ben White Boulevard. He is perplexed by a long-term lane closure on the road’s frontage, which has been blocked by construction barrels for nearly two years, causing congestion and disturbance. Despite driving daily, Reyes hasn’t seen any work done. According to TxDOT, the lane is unsafe due to water damage affecting the pavement’s underlying structure. Delays emerged from initial plans involving private property access; however, with a new plan and a contractor onboard, repairs are set to begin mid-July, expected to take six months and cost approximately $2 million.
