183 North Mobility Project: A Bird's Eye View

[@gillynova]

It'll help a little bit but we REALLY need better public transportation in Austin

[@RedKnight-fn6jr]

I don't know if this project is public or private, but one idea would be to allow buses to use the express lanes for free.

[@MobilityAuthCTRMA]

@@RedKnight-fn6jr Indeed, the 183 North Mobility Project will allow transit vehicles and emergency responders to utilize the express lanes at no charge.

​@@RedKnight-fn6jrJust gonna slow everyone else down 😒

[@chucksmyth2598]

As someone who lives in Leander and works downtown, this is very exciting.

[@RedKnight-fn6jr]

Looks good!

[@ShidaiTaino]

Just another lane bro!!!

[@TheRadiowire101]

And express lanes

[@Scottolini]

Meanwhile the transit advocates are like, "Just $5 billion more, bro!!!!" "We promise bro, just $5 billion more, and in like 20 years there will be a cool little train a couple thousand people can ride on !!!"

Those spans where the "new collector-distributor road" fly-over starts are HUGE! Span all of one side of Mopac and more. :O

[@christyn3952]

I just saw a pillar that looks like it’s for a flyover going up on the east side of MoPac at Anderson. The video doesn’t go past Steck. What’s going on a little further south on the other side of the highway?

[@icanreachit]

Looks like Steck is losing it's SB on ramp in favor of an off-ramp for Spicewood springs? No details listed anywhere on line for what this is doing further south to the existing on-off ramps or how disruptive it will be.

[@bonkobonko6707]

Is the mopac express lanes going to be upgraded from 2 to 4?

[@nathananderson3922]

I'm assuming it'll be two lanes southbound until the 2222 exit where the right lane would exit only.

[@bonkobonko6707]

@@nathananderson3922 Thats gonna be a real bottleneck

[@joelp123]

Oh good, there's an ADA-compliant sidewalk next to 20 lanes of car traffic 🙄 Y'all need help.

[@TheRadiowire101]

No there's not

[@jacobsonhome]

What happens to the existing Mopac SB entrance right after Steck? Vid ends right before showing that... is it being moved down / southward? Hopefully, because big neighborhoods depend on that entrance.

[@jacobsonhome]

Ok, I think I understand from what little is shown at the end of the vid... an immediate SB Mopac entrance after Steck is no longer necessary with the new collector-distributor road's non-stop flow provided past Far West entering before 2222... correct?

[@GlassGhost74]

I live at Steck and I cannot wait for this crap to be finished

[@MobilityAuthCTRMA]

@@jacobsonhome Apologies for the delayed response, indeed the collector distributor road is meant to ease congestion in this area and allow drivers to bypass the traffic signals at Steck and Spicewood Springs. The MoPac mainlanes entrance off of the MoPac frontage road right after Steck will be shifted just to the south of its current location.

[@penn76]

that shield is crazy

[@ПавелЗайцев-м3е]

Эти скоростные линии будут платными? Какой будет скорость на линиях? По каким нормам их проектируют?

[@jajaja1282]

one more lane will fix it guys

[@RedKnight-fn6jr]

I depends where you put the lanes - I drive on a major beltway frequently and know what lane additions work and what ones don't.

[@BenGawiser]

How was this project approved with no notice to the public? Why weren't people given a chance to provide feedback? Nobody wants toll roads.

[@fietsenOveral4650]

Y'all need public transit - Texas drivers are responsible for 0.5% of total global GHG emissions

[@RedKnight-fn6jr]

Cut the Climate BS!

[@SHONUF78]

We need it just because every advanced city in every advanced nation has it. It’s convenient.

[@coachiti2009]

Public transit is only good for people that take it just for work and then go back home. Texas cities are too big for public transit to start working. Most low income people live outside the city, wealthy or middle class people are not going to use public transit. 😅

[@HaydonRyan]

Are you kidding me!? All this work and not adding an extra lane southbound on 1883 from the non expressway into mopac? Regardless of more express lanes this is a major choke point.

[@jonetkins]

Yeah, and SB MoPac traffic exiting at Steck still gets dumped into one backed-up left turn lane a hundred yards before the intersection.
