CR 276 and US 183 connection temporarily closed
Thursday, June 11, 2015 by Tyler Whitson
The Central Texas Regional Mobility Authority announced Wednesday that it has closed the connection between CR 276 and US 183, near the highway’s intersection with the 183A Toll Road in Leander. The connection will remain closed for about two months, or until construction is complete on a permanent connection, which CTRMA says will “facilitate smoother and safer turning movements and improve access across the southbound lanes.” In the meantime, drivers may consult a detour map for instructions on how to navigate the temporary route. According to the agency, the construction is part of a larger improvement project at the intersection that’s on track for completion in the fall and includes “pavement widening, drainage improvements, traffic signal adjustments and minor new road construction of CR 276.”
