Corridors are primary roadways that affect the overall transportation network. They are used for getting around, destinations for residents and visitors, and home to businesses as well as many Austinites. In the map below, the nine corridors in the Corridor Construction Program are depicted in orange.
The eight corridors where there is preliminary engineering reports and design work taking place are depicted in teal. Corridor Construction Program:. Learn more about how improvements were prioritized through the Contract wi th Voters. Getting people moving by increasing the number of people who can travel through the corridors. Improving safety and reducing crashes through improvements to intersections and along the corridors.
There are typically two parts to a design phase. First, preliminary engineering work begins once a project enters the design phase. Then, after a project makes its way through the preliminary engineering phase, it enters final design. The Corridor Construction Program began the general design phase, specifically preliminary engineering work, in April when City Council approved the Corridor Construction Program.
Preliminary engineering included the collection of new information from the community, as well as additional surveys and technical analyses to refine the conceptual improvements recommended in Corridor Mobility Plans.
On April 25, , City Council authorized staff to complete additional design and engineering to prepare the projects for construction. This support from Council has allowed the Corridor Construction Program to progress to the next phase of work, shifting projects from preliminary engineering to final design.
As part of the final design phase of work, the Corridor Program Office is working to finalize design plans so that the projects can enter the bidding and construction phases. During the final design phase, the Corridor Program Office team is coordinating utility relocations, working with property owners whose right-of-way or access may be impacted, and continuing coordination across City departments and external agencies. The Corridor Program Office anticipates that the bulk of construction is anticipated to occur between , and the Corridor Program Office CPO is evaluating opportunities to get improvements on the ground as soon as possible.
Final Design Phase Activities Include: Developing corridor construction plans and preparing for construction by:. Conducting ongoing community engagement with neighborhoods, businesses and property owners to understand their priorities and concerns. The projects are expected to reduce vehicular delay, improve effectiveness of transit, as well as create continuous ADA-compliant sidewalks and continuous bicycle facilities along the entire length of the corridor.
Preliminary engineering is complete and the full design phase of work began in April when City Council authorized staff to finalize designs and prepare the projects for construction. Construction of improvements for the Burnet Road corridor will be phased. The bulk of construction is anticipated to occur between , and the Corridor Program Office CPO is evaluating opportunities to get improvements on the ground as soon as possible.
Construction Phasing Construction of improvements for the Burnet Road corridor will be phased. In October , the Texas Department of Transportation TxDOT notified the City of Austin that environmental clearance has been issued for Burnet Road, clearing the way for the Corridor Program Office to proceed with construction of mobility and safety projects that are funded by the voter-approved Mobility Bond.

Roadway and other mobility improvements are expected to go to construction in Some improvements may be implemented during a future construction phase.
Improvements include:. Upgraded traffic signals with enhanced technology at Koenig Ln. Repurposed pavement width to provide eastbound right turn lane from RM to Burnet Road the westbound approach will be implemented during a future phase of construction. Bus stop improvements in partnership with Capital Metro. Design Phase: Underway Full design of critical mobility and safety improvements for Burnet Road corridor segments is underway.
This schematic map is not final. As a result of current design phase activities, improvement plans shown may have been refined since the map's last update. White Horse Trail to US Construction of these projects will begin as early as , starting with the installation of new midblock pedestrian crosswalk signals at Penny Ln. Work is expected to wrap up on both of these projects before the end of the year. Three upgraded traffic signals with enhanced technology at:.
New shared-use paths to create continuous ADA-compliant sidewalks and bicycle facilities on both sides of the roadway. Preparing for Construction. On April 25, , City Council authorized staff to complete additional design and engineering to prepare the projects for construction. Activities will include:.
