The $477-million construction project adds two express lanes in both directions along a stretch of US Highway 183 from MoPac Expressway to State Highway (SH) 45 North in Travis and Williamson counties. Once completed, this important regional project will provide greater mobility on a crucial connection between the Liberty Hill area north of the corridor to downtown Austin. It includes adding a fourth general-purpose lane to bring the total number to four lanes in both directions and adds an express lane direct connector to and from southbound MoPac.
"We are excited to team with Sundt and bring our firms’ design-build expertise to the Austin market,” said David Casey, President of Archer Western’s Transportation Group. “The expansion of Highway 183 will bring added benefits to the traveling public, increasing mobility, reducing congestion, and offering users additional connections.”
The project includes 21 bridge widenings, extensive retaining wall construction, operational improvements for the transition to MoPac, new shared-use path connections, sidewalks, and cross-street connections for bicycles and pedestrians.
"We are proud to start this landmark project for the Central Texas Regional Mobility Authority," said Jeff Williamson, Sundt's President for the Transportation Group. "This win would not have been possible without the great working relationship with our partner, Archer Western."
