Austin Traffic Wednesday: Daytime Lane Closures on RM 2222, and Night Work on I-35, MoPac and SH 130
Wednesday's daytime pinch point is RM 2222, where the left lane closes in both directions between Mesa Drive and Mt. Bonnell Road. After dark, the week's I-35, MoPac and SH 130 night closures continue across the metro.
AUSTIN — The closure Austin drivers will feel first on Wednesday is a daytime one: the TxDOT closure report for the week of November 11 lists the left lane on RM 2222 closed in both directions between Mesa Drive and Mt. Bonnell Road from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., Monday through Thursday, with the westbound right lane also closing as needed.
The I-35 night pattern in Travis County runs again Wednesday night. The report lists the northbound auxiliary lane closed between Oltorf Street and the Woodland Avenue exit from 9 p.m. to 3 a.m. Monday through Thursday nights, the southbound two left lanes closed between Powell Lane and U.S. 290 from 10 p.m. to 5 a.m., and the northbound left lane closed between U.S. 290 and Rutherford Lane from 9 p.m. to 5 a.m. Wednesday night also carries its own listed item: the southbound right lane closed between the entrance ramp from Wells Branch Parkway and the Howard Lane exit, No. 246, from 9 p.m. Wednesday to 5 a.m. Thursday, with that entrance ramp closed as well. In Williamson County, I-35 southbound is reduced to one lane between the Bell County line and Texas 130 from 9 p.m. to 5:30 a.m. on those same nights, with alternating ramp closures.
MoPac and SH 130 take their share of the night work. The report lists various single-lane closures in both directions on Loop 1 between Davis and South Bay lanes from 8 p.m. to 6 a.m. Monday through Thursday nights, and on Texas 130, the left lane closed across Blue Bluff Road from 9 p.m. to 5 a.m. Wednesday through Friday nights — southbound on Wednesday and Thursday, northbound on Friday — alongside alternating overnight closures of the Parmer Lane and U.S. 290 exits.
On U.S. 183, the report lists the southbound Cameron Road exit closed from 9 p.m. to 5 a.m. Monday through Thursday nights with the frontage-road left lane closed as well. All of the times above are as listed in the week's TxDOT closure reporting; overnight work is weather-dependent and can shift, and drivers headed out Wednesday night should expect the coned lanes to be in place on the listed corridors.
