Work along Slaughter Lane to begin this summer

Austin airport begins work on expansion Officials celebrated the start of construc- tion May 12 on the Atrium Infill Project that will result in an additional 12,000 square feet for the Arrivals and Departures Hall within the Barbara Jordan Terminal at the Austin-Bergstrom International Airport. In a nutshell The project is expected to increase capacity for Transportation Security Admin- istration ticketing counter lines, which has in the past extended outside the terminal, according to a news release. What you need to know Travelers can expect temporary construc- tion walls and noise; however, there is no impact anticipated for current TSA security capacity and flight schedules.

The overview This phase of work, known as C2, joins a larger corridor project—spanning FM 1826 to Old Lock- hart Road—aimed at increasing safety for pedestri- ans and bicyclists as well as increasing mobility. The enhancements included expanding the four-lane thoroughfare to a six-lane divided roadway from MoPac to Brodie Lane. Work also includes new traffic signals and cross- walk upgrades at the intersection of Brodie Lane and Bowie High School. At Zuniga Drive, there will also be a new pedestrian crossing light and other safety improvements. The project includes shared paths for both pedestrians and cyclists, curb extensions to make
