Montopolis Drive safety improvements

planned

Austin Transportation and Public Works is enhancing safety and mobility along Montopolis Drive from Riverside Drive to US 183. Crews will implement some immediate improvements, while more significant, long-term changes are in development. Starting in spring 2026, Austin crews will install traffic signal upgrades, such as retroreflective backplates and audible pedestrian signals, at Fairway Street, Porter Street and Ponca Street. They will then construct accessible ramps and curb bump-outs at eight high-priority intersections, followed by construction of sidewalks or shared-use paths to close gaps between El Mirando Street and the US 183 service road.
