The City of Austin is beginning construction this week of safety and mobility improvements at the intersection of Slaughter Lane and Cullen Lane. This project is funded through the 2016 Mobility Bond.
The improvements are designed to increase safety and improve mobility by modifying the medians on Slaughter Lane, upgrading the signal, and improving pedestrian and bicylcle infrastructure. The improvements align with Austin City Council’s Austin Strategic Direction 2023’s Mobility Strategic Outcome of getting Austinites where we want go, when we want to get there, safely and cost-effectively.
Construction activities are anticipated to last approximately 3 months, barring any weather delays or other unforeseen circumstances. People driving, walking, or biking near the construction area should use caution and watch for workers.
This project is the fifth intersection to begin construction as part of the Intersection Safety/Vision Zero program funded by the 2016 Mobility Bond. The 2016 Mobility Bond dedicates $15 million to fatality reduction strategies for projects listed on the
Top Crash Location Intersection Priorities Improvement List.
