Internal Notes
The project will add two high-occupancy-vehicle managed lanes in both directions, reconstruct the Lady Bird Lake bridge, and build a single-point urban interchange at Riverside Drive. It will enhance safety and connectivity with a pedestrian-only bridge at Woodland Avenue, bike and pedestrian paths along the corridor, and will accommodate future Capital Metro routes.
