Construction Begins on Guadalupe & Lavaca Transit Improvements

May 30, 2019

On Monday, May 20, construction began to improve transit on Guadalupe and Lavaca Streets. During the project, there is a full lane closure on Guadalupe St. between 18th St. and 100 feet north of Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd.

Construction is anticipated to last four to five months. Following these changes, each bus traveling through the corridor will move approximately 18% faster, with 65 seconds saved during peak evening travel periods.

Throughout construction, access to all properties adjacent to the project will be maintained. Intermittent lane closures will also be needed during off-peak hours on:

  • Lavaca Street between 15th Street and Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard
  • 18th Street between Lavaca Street and Guadalupe Street.
