Starting Sunday, portions of South Lamar will be reduced to allow Austin Energy to replace utility poles and upgrade wires. The work is expected to last six months.
The"reconductoring" project will cause portions of South Lamar’s northbound traffic to be reduced to one lane for most of the duration of the project. Southbound traffic will also experience occasional delays.The second phase will stretch from West Mary to Treadwell Street and phase three will extend from Treadwell to Barton Springs Road.
During each phase, the right lane going northbound will be closed and traffic will be shifted to the left. Pedestrian and cyclist traffic will be merged together to an enclosed area; bikers will be asked to walk while they share the lane.
