This weekend, the Public Works Department began bus lane repairs on the Drag. The repairs are expected to be completed next month, with the majority of the work taking place between 7 p.m. and 5 a.m. What to expect from the construction work? Well, the usual: traffic delays, detours, some driveway closures, uneven pavement and noise. As a reminder, this section of repairs on Guadalupe Street between Martin Luther King Jr Boulevard and 29th Street is part of a larger effort to improve conditions on Guadalupe Street, Lavaca Street and North Lamar Boulevard. And that larger effort follows a bang-up job of reporting by our own Caleb Pritchard.
