TXDOT to add free frontage roads between Whitestone, Avery Ranch in Cedar Park
By Steve Guntli | Community Impact
The Texas Department of Transportation will soon begin a project to help alleviate traffic along the 183A Toll corridor in Cedar Park.
This summer, TXDOT will begin construction on non-tolled frontage roads to connect Whitestone Boulevard and Avery Ranch Boulevard. The approximately 3-mile project is slated to begin this summer, with an estimated completion date of 2028, according to TXDOT.
The details
The project will require the construction of two grade-separated lanes on either side of 183A Toll Road. According to TXDOT documents, this project has been in the works since 2018.
The plans also include a shared-use pathway on the northbound road, which will connect to existing trailheads along 183A.
What else?
The goal of the project, according to TXDOT documents, is to:
- Increase mobility by providing an alternate route for 183A traffic
- Improve safety by bringing the roads up to current TXDOT standards
- Reduce environmental impact by cutting emissions from idling cars
- Allow more flexibility for Cedar Park to grow
