MOBILITY AUTHORITY CELEBRATES OPENING OF BARTON SKYWAY RAMP RELIEF PROJECT


THE CENTRAL TEXAS REGIONAL MOBILITY AUTHORITY CELEBRATED THE COMPLETION OF THE
$10M BARTON SKYWAY RAMP RELIEF PROJECT, ADDING NON-TOLLED IMPROVEMENTS ON
SOUTHBOUND MOPAC TO ALLEVIATE CONGESTION AND REDUCE TRAVEL TIMES BY NEARLY 30%.
THE PROJECT ADDRESSES BOTTLENECK ISSUES AT ENTRY AND EXIT RAMPS BETWEEN BEE
CAVES ROAD AND LOOP 360 WEST OF AUSTIN.

The Central Texas Regional Mobility Authority (Mobility Authority) celebrated
the completion on Aug. 28, 2024, of the Barton Skyway Ramp Relief Project, a
series of non-tolled improvements on southbound MoPac at the entry and exit
ramps between Bee Caves Road and Loop 360 west of Austin.

The $10M non-tolled project added pavement for auxiliary and merge lanes to
alleviate congestion and improve travel times throughout the corridor.

"Completion of the Barton Skyway Ramp Relief Project represents a critical first
step in addressing congestion along southbound MoPac," Mobility Authority
Director James Bass said. "It also underscores the commitment by the Mobility
Authority to reinvest back into the Central Texas region by delivering equitable
and accessible transportation solutions that benefit all."

The southbound MoPac corridor has struggled to accommodate the influx of
residents in Central Texas, leading to unpredictable travel times, particularly
during the morning and afternoon peak periods.

The bottleneck created by traffic merging onto southbound MoPac at the Barton
Skyway and Bee Caves Road entrance ramps has contributed to traffic congestion,
particularly at the Loop 360 southbound exit. Before construction, travel times
between 35th Street and Loop 360 reached 38 minutes, ranking a stretch of MoPac
including this section among the Texas A&M Transportation Institute's (TTI) list
of Texas' 100 Most Congested Road Sections (2023).

As an interim solution to the broader congestion problems along the corridor,
the Mobility Authority — which is a local, independent government agency created
in 2002 to improve the regional transportation system in Travis and Williamson
counties — began developing the non-tolled improvements in 2019. Those include a
new southbound auxiliary lane from Barton Skyway to Loop 360; a new acceleration
lane for the southbound Barton Skyway entrance ramp: three dedicated
through-traffic lanes under Loop 360: and a dedicated left lane exit ramp to
southbound Loop 360.

The project delivered expedited benefits to users less than a year after
beginning construction, with temporary striping to the final configuration
implemented on Jan. 12, 2024, while the final punch list items were completed.
Since opening to traffic, these enhancements have reduced travel times by nearly
30 percent on average, offering Central Texas residents a smoother commute.

The Mobility Authority operates 183A Toll, 290 Toll, 71 Toll Lane, MoPac Express
Lane, 45SW Toll and 183 Toll.
