One-way streets set to become two-way streets

The Austin Transportation Department is making some directional changes downtown. In alignment with the state’s Capitol Complex Master Plan, the department will be converting two downtown blocks – 17th and 18th streets between San Jacinto Boulevard and Trinity Street – from one-way streets to two-way streets. The conversion will take place Wednesday, June 26, and is expected to take no longer than a day, if the weather cooperates. The workers will keep at least one lane open on each street at any given time, in order to keep traffic moving along.
