Highways in City Will Soon Undergo Rerouting Pains
The Texas Highway Department plans rerouting of major routes through Austin. US 290, US 81, US 29 and US 20 will shift along new corridors from Barton Springs Road to Neches West Fifth Seventh Street and Guadalupe. Drivers must adapt to using Guadalupe Street and Fifth Street in place of Lavaca and First Streets. Local bidding on East Avenue houses continues with bids of 59 per property, signaling upcoming construction and church projects if costs fall next spring.
