TxDOT ends RM 2222 project
The Texas Department of Transportation celebrated the completion of the RM 2222 project from Bonaventure Drive to Ribelin Ranch Drive on Friday with a band breakthrough.
The project added a thoroughfare going east on RM 2222 from Bonaventure Drive to Sitio Del Rio Boulevard and going west from Ribelin Ranch Drive to River Place Boulevard. Turning lanes and raised median strips were also built within the project limits.
TxDOT is also working on a project in the area to add a bypass along the RM 620 north of Steiner Ranch Boulevard. In August the road was opened to traffic in a northerly direction. The southbound will open at a later date and the project is expected to be completed in early 2022.
The City of Austin contributed $ 7.5 million to the total project cost of $ 33.6 million through its 2016 Mobility Bond Regional Mobility Program, which focuses on major roads and intersections. Approximately $ 203,500 of city funding went to the RM 2222 expansion project, with approximately $ 7.3 million in bond funding going to the bypass project.
