Parts of US 183, 290 closed on weekend

AUSTIN (KXAN) - U.S. Highways 183 and 290 will be closed this weekend due to construction on Manor Expressway flyover interchange. Crews will install steel bridge beams above the two roadways in Northeast Austin.

Contingent on weather, the closure will begin at 10 p.m. Friday and last until 6 a.m. Monday.

During the closure, drivers will be detoured onto the frontage roads and may face delays.

Drivers heading south on Hwy. 183 will exit at Cameron Road. Drivers heading north will exit at Manor Road. Drivers will be required to pass through several signalized intersections before re-entering the highway.

A similar situation will occur on Hwy. 290. Drivers will have to exit the road at Hwy. 183 and then pass through a series of traffic signals before re-entering Hwy. 290.

Anyone heading to Austin-Bergstrom International Airport is encouraged to leave early or use an alternate route.

More than 20 police officers will be on site to manage traffic signals and keep traffic moving as smoothly and safely as possible.

Weather or other factors could lead to changes in the closure schedule.
