TxDOT begins North Lamar project

Texas Department of Transportation crews are going to be starting work on repaving and restriping North Lamar Boulevard between Parmer Lane and Howard Lane. The project will “improve safety and mobility by converting the 4-lane roadway into a 3-lane roadway with a continuous left-turn lane,” according to an announcement from the Austin Transportation Department. “The project will also widen the roadway along northbound North Lamar Boulevard between Parmer Lane and the Walmart shopping center entrance to accommodate dedicated left- and right-turn lanes.” The work should be done by fall, “weather permitting,” as always.
