TxDot to close Staples Road for construction

Staff Reports

The Texas Department of Transportation will close Staples Road (FM 621) at approximately a quarter mile south of Hilltop Drive, beginning at 8 p.m. on Sunday, March 13 through 5 a.m. on Friday, March 18. The roadway closure is needed so crews can replace a large cross culvert along FM 621, and install new pavement and guardrail.

The road closure will also allow TxDOT to expedite other work and will  eliminate several disruptive lane closures in the future. To take advantage of reduced traffic volumes and minimize disruptions to adjacent schools, the road closure will occur during spring break, weather permitting.

Drivers traveling in either direction may use Old Bastrop Highway (CR 266), Redwood Road, Guadalupe Street (SH 123), and De Zavala Drive. A second detour (one direction only) allows drivers to use the northbound I-35 frontage road, San Marcos Highway (SH 80) and Old Bastrop Highway (CR 266). See the map below for more details.

Detour signs have been placed along the corridor. Please use extra caution when traveling through the work zone.

For any questions regarding the road closure or detours, please contact the TxDOT Austin District Public Information Office at (512) 832-7060.
