As part of the ongoing MoPac Improvement Project, the Central Texas Regional Mobility Authority has combined the Cesar Chavez, 5th Street and Lake Austin Boulevard exits from southbound MoPac and opened the modified ramp yesterday, July 13. The entrance to the ramp is now farther north, making for an earlier exit. The change is expected to be in place for five months. Those curious about the project or construction updates can visit the project website or, apparently, follow it on Twitter, here.
