CTRMA restarts MoPac South projects

The Central Texas Regional Mobility Authority (CTRMA) is looking to advance an $825 million project to add express lanes on MoPac South to its schematic design and environmental process.

After a long delay, CTRMA is resuming plans to add one or two express lanes in each direction on an 8-mile section.

New CTRMA Executive Director James Bass updated the Austin Chamber of Commerce on the status of this project and several others in the greater Austin area on August 4.

Another MoPac improvement project will add auxiliary and merge lanes between Barton Skyway and Loop 360 for an estimated $15 million. The project aims to relieve congestion on southbound MoPac south of Lady Bird Lake. Construction is anticipated to begin in mid-2022 with completion in mid-2023.

CTRMA is nearing completion of a feasibility study to evaluate the expansion of 290 Toll east toward Manor and Elgin. The fourth phase of the 290 projects would go from State Highway 130 to SH 95. The cost is yet to be determined.
