Austin Public Works began maintenance on Montopolis Drive from East Oltorf Street to Grove Boulevard on Tuesday, September 6, 2022. The project is being managed by Public Works’ Street and Bridge and is expected to last six weeks, so long as weather permits.
The repairs consist of replacing failing pavement with new asphalt and limited concrete curb replacement. New pavement markings will follow the asphalt placement and allow for Austin residents’ commutes on the busy road safer and more convenient.
According to the City of Austin, localized construction impacts include:
- Alternating Lane Closures: Montopolis Drive will remain accessible at all times in both directions. The street will operate with two lanes (one in each direction) throughout the project.
- Work Hours: Work hours will be 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. M-F. Lane closures will remain in effect for 24 hours and change only as work progresses. Detour signage for pedestrians is posted.
- Timeline: Project expected to last 6 weeks pending weather
