The Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) last week officially began construction on the Oak Hill Parkway project in the Austin area.
Decades in the making, the Oak Hill Parkway project will accommodate current and future growth by adding lanes for drivers traveling through Oak Hill, as well as frontage roads for local traffic. The project will also remove traffic signals on the main lanes and construct flyovers between U.S. 290 and SH 71.
“It’s taken more than 30 years of planning—30 years of discussing and talking about a traffic solution for this area,” J. Bruce Bugg Jr., Texas Transportation Commission chairman, said in a statement. “We’re here today because it’s time to stop planning to do. It’s time to do.”
