Major upcoming traffic shifts
Prepare for new traffic patterns across the project corridor.
RM 1826 full bridge and U-turns open
- As early as mid-April, the RM 1826 cross-street bridge over US 290 will open to its full width, along with the east-to-west U-turn.
- The west-to-east U-turn is anticipated to open in May.
- All major activity is subject to change and weather permitting.
Wolfcreek Pass/Hill Oaks Drive temporary access from US 290
- As early as April 10, access for Wolfcreek Pass and Hill Oaks Drive will shift to the eastbound US 290 local access road east of the 'Y' Interchange.
- The future eastbound US 290 frontage road connection between Convict Hill Road and Wolfcreek Pass will close temporarily for bridge construction.
- Drivers will access Hill Oaks Drive through a right in/right out to the access road.
- All major activity is subject to change and weather permitting.
Eastbound US 290 William Cannon bypass
- Eastbound US 290 drivers heading toward downtown Austin temporarily have the opportunity to bypass the William Cannon Drive intersection.
- For local traffic heading to William Cannon Drive, McCarty Lane and Old Fredericksburg Road, one lane will be maintained along the existing eastbound US 290 roadway.
- Westbound US 290 traffic is unaffected.
- This configuration is anticipated to be in place for approximately six months.
