US 183 North to undergo traffic shift this summer Drivers can anticipate a gradual traffic shift this summer as project officials with the US 183 North Mobility Project slowly open a fourth travel lane in each direction. What’s happening? From the second week of June throughout the rest of the summer, transportation officials are opening 3,000-4,000 feet of the newly constructed fourth lane of US 183 North, according to a news release. The project is split into three segments. Work began with Segment 1 in the second week of June, and will be followed by Segment 2 and Segment 3 toward the end of the summer. The background The $612 million US 183 North Mobility Project spans 9 miles of US 183 from SH 45 to MoPac and is on track for completion in 2026.

Segment 2 targets the northbound main lanes starting at SH 45 and gradually moves south.
Cedar Park will install traffic lights and make pedestrian safety improvements at four intersections situated near three Leander ISD campuses and the Bell District, including:
183
• Bell Boulevard and Aster Street • Gupton Way Drive and Park Street
Segment 1 starts on the southbound main lanes at Loop 360 and gradually moves north.
• Vista Ridge Boulevard and Colonial Parkway • Vista Ridge Boulevard and Golden Arrow “There’s a tremendous amount of pedestrian and bicycle activity in that area,” Assistant Director of Public Works Stephen Hanuscin said. Stay tuned Officials are hoping to have the signals near schools operational before school resumes Aug. 14, and the light at the Bell District done before the new library opens this fall.
MOPAC
Segment 3 will focus on the final southbound section from MoPac north to Loop 360.
