The project proposes lane closures and/or detours. The contractor will install appropriate traffic detour signs and barricades to direct traffic.

If access cannot be maintained, written notice of limited access will be provided to the affected property owner(s) at least 24 hours in advance. In addition, there will be planned temporary water service interruptions, primarily during pipeline tie-in and service reconnection. Residents will be notified at least 48 hours in advance of planned service interruptions. This construction contract is time sensitive and is critical to the improvement of the infrastructure stability of Austin’s water distribution. The contract allows 380 calendar days for completion of this project. This project is located within zip code 78724 (District 1).
