“With the addition of RM 2222, we’re already seeing an improvement in traffic flow,” said Tucker Ferguson, Austin district engineer. “The full benefits of this innovative approach to clearing traffic jams will be realized after completion of the RM 620 bypass.”
Officials said elevated centerlines with turning bays were built along RM 2222, along with special turn lanes for RM 2222 on McNeil Drive and River Place Boulevard. Sidewalks were built along the corridor on both sides of the RM 2222.
