Burnet Road Corridor Project
Burnet Road Corridor Project
Mobility, safety and connectivity improvements are coming to Burnet Road from Koenig Lane to MoPac Expressway. The improvements are funded by the 2016 Austin Mobility Bond.

Status: Under Construction
About the Project
Current Work Zones
August 3, 2026 Project Update: The Burnet Road corridor project is under construction in three active segments: White Horse Trail to US 183, US 183 to Bright Verde Way, and Bright Verde Way to MoPac Expressway. Over the coming months, crews will continue installing utilities, upgrading intersections, adding new pedestrian and bicycle facilities, and preparing the corridor for future enhancements. As construction activity increases, residents, businesses, and commuters will likely notice lane shifts, temporary detours, and intermittent closures. While teams are making every effort to minimize disruptions, some travel delays should be anticipated throughout the work.
Planned Improvements
- ADA‑compliant curb ramps to improve accessibility
- Shared‑use paths for safer walking and biking
- Installation of two crosswalk signals (Pedestrian Hybrid Beacons, or PHBs) to support safer crossings
- Traffic signal upgrades
- Drainage improvements
- Realignment of Burnet Lane at Burnet Road to improve safety and traffic operations
White Horse Trail to US 183
Construction started in March 2026 on approximately 2.7 linear miles of rescoped corridor mobility improvements for Burnet Road from Koenig Lane (RM 2222) to US 183, including construction of sidewalks, shared-use paths, curb and gutter, minimal driveway reconstruction and upgraded traffic signal infrastructure and improvements at priority intersections.
US 183 to Bright Verde Way
Construction is underway on safety and mobility improvements, including:

August 3, 2026 Project Update
Construction is underway in three sections of Burnet Road:
- White Horse Trail to US 183
- US 183 to Bright Verde Way
- Bright Verde Way to MoPac Expressway
Crews are installing utilities, upgrading intersections and adding walking and biking facilities. Work is happening in phases along the corridor.
As construction progresses, expect lane shifts, temporary detours and intermittent closures. Follow posted signs and allow extra travel time.
About the Project
The City of Austin is improving Burnet Road from Koenig Lane to MoPac Expressway to make traveling along and across the corridor safer and easier for people walking, biking, driving and riding transit.
Funded by the voter-approved 2016 Austin Mobility Bond, the project includes sidewalks and shared-use paths, accessible crossings, bus stop improvements, intersection and traffic signal upgrades, roadway repairs and drainage improvements. Features vary by section.
The project is divided into three sections:
- South: Koenig Lane to US 183
- Central: US 183 to Bright Verde Way
- North: Bright Verde Way to MoPac Expressway
Construction is happening in phases, with a separate schedule for each section. Explore the sections below for improvements, construction progress and anticipated completion dates.
