Downtown block to be temporarily closed for construction

Starting Saturday, the eastbound vehicle and bicycle lanes on the 100 block of East Third Street between Congress Avenue and Brazos Street will be closed during installation of parking islands on the south side of East Third Street, reducing that block to a single, westbound vehicle lane. Existing street parking on the block’s south side will be closed during the duration of this work as well. Immediately following the construction’s completion, the westbound vehicle and bicycle lanes will be closed to install a barrier curb along the bicycle lane on the north side of the street. Officials expect the work to take approximately three weeks.
