Construction begins on Anderson Mill Road project

The Austin Transportation Department has kicked off construction on a project funded by the 2016 mobility bond, on Anderson Mill Road between U.S. Highway 183 and Spicewood Parkway. The $8 million Regional Mobility project is “designed to reduce congestion and enhance safety for all road users, including people riding bikes, walking, driving cars, and accessing transit in the area. The project began as a grassroots, community-led effort to address safety and mobility issues along Anderson Mill Road,” according to a news release from Transportation. The road will be getting a new center left-turn lane, a raised median near U.S. 183 and shared-use paths on both sides of the road for pedestrians and cyclists.
