In an effort to mitigate the possibility of flooding, your North Austin MUD No. 1 is funding two bridge enhancement projects for the Parmer Bridge and the Tamayo Dr. Bridge. Both projects expand the area under the bridges which allow for increased water flow. This work reduces the potential for flooding by modifying the existing bridges which improve drainage and reduces standing water all with little to no construction disruption.
Construction on the Tamayo bridge is expected to begin early 2020. The Parmer Lane Bridge is expected to begin 6 months after the design has been approved which is proposed to take place in early 2020. Construction will be contained to the area underneath the bridges and no lane closures are expected.
A Public Meeting on the Study will be held on November 20, 2019 from 4:00 to 6:00 PM at the North Austin MUD #1 Community Center.
