Mobility Authority Invites Public to Virtual Open House for 183A Added Capacity Project

(Austin, Texas)—The Central Texas Regional Mobility Authority is hosting a Virtual Open House for the environmental study of the 183A Added Capacity Project. This project proposes the addition of a fourth lane in the median of 183A Toll between RM 620/SH 45 and Hero Way. The Virtual Open House will be available for the public to view beginning by 5 p.m. on Wednesday, July 31, and will remain open for participation until Sunday, September 1, 2024 at MobilityAuthority.com/183a-ac. Participants are encouraged to view meeting materials that detail project objectives, mobility needs surrounding the project limits, and the environmental constraints of the project. The public is invited to share comments and feedback.

In response to the rapid growth of Cedar Park and Leander and the increasing number of drivers on the 183A Toll Road, the Mobility Authority is conducting an environmental study for the proposed fourth lane to possibly move forward. “This environmental study is a proactive step toward securing environmental clearance, which will enable us to construct a fourth lane should traffic volumes indicate the need to alleviate anticipated congestion” said James Bass, Executive Director of the Mobility Authority. “We invite the public to learn about the project need and share their comments with us.”

The Mobility Authority invites the public to submit their comments via mail, email, or through the online comment form provided on the Virtual Open House webpage. Comments must be postmarked or received by 11:59 p.m. on Sunday, September 1, 2024, to be included in the official record.
