Construction Alerts

Construction schedule: Week of 9/27/2026

NOTABLE ACTIVITES

  • Monday, Sept. 28 & Friday, Oct. 2: Concrete Work (12:00 AM Setup / 1:00 AM Placement)
    Concrete pump setup will begin at approximately 12:00 AM, with concrete placement expected to begin around 1:00 AM and continue for approximately 6 hours.

    All other concrete operations will follow their typical schedule, with concrete pumps and shotcrete compressors arriving at approximately 5:00 AM for setup. Concrete pumping is expected to begin around 6:00 AM and continue for several hours, with concrete trucks arriving throughout the morning.

    All equipment will remain within the excavation, with sound blankets installed where feasible to help minimize noise. The project team will continue monitoring sound levels throughout these operations to help reduce impacts. Concrete trucks will access the site via northbound Trinity Street.

  • Covered Walkway Removal & Pedestrian Route
    Crews are planning to remove the covered pedestrian walkway along Cesar Chavez Street to align with nearby roadway improvements. Once the walkway is removed, pedestrian traffic will be redirected to the south side of Cesar Chavez. The removal is expected to take no more than two days.


ONGOING WORK

  • Weekend Work Hours
    Rock excavation, hauling, and related construction activities are expected to continue on Saturday. No excavation or hauling activities are currently planned for Sunday. Work hours are anticipated to start at 8:00 AM and extend until approximately 7:00 PM on Saturday.
  • Extended Weekday Work Hours
    For the next several weeks, excavation (including jackhammering) and hauling activities are expected to start at 7:00 AM and continue until approximately 9:00 PM on weekdays. No jackhammering will occur after 8:00 PM.

    These hours fall within the City’s allowable extended construction window, which permits weekday activity from 6:00 AM to 10:30 PM.

PLEASE NOTE: Nearby Construction Activity – Red River Improvements

The City of Austin and DPR Construction continue roadway and sidewalk improvements near the intersection of Red River Street and Cesar Chavez Street. Northbound Red River Street will remain open throughout construction. Temporary southbound lane closures and pedestrian route adjustments will continue as work progresses. Please follow posted signs and traffic control devices when traveling through the area.

Noise & Mitigation Efforts

We recognize the inconvenience of construction activity for our neighbors and remain committed to implementing and refining mitigation measures. Current and expanded efforts include:

  • Use of sound blankets and localized equipment shielding
  • Ongoing noise monitoring, including decibel tracking to ensure compliance with City thresholds
  • Limiting higher-impact activities during evening hours where feasible
  • Evaluating additional mitigation strategies as work progresses

Traffic plan around the redevelopment site

During construction, a traffic control plan ensures access and safety for pedestrians and bicyclists traveling between east and west in the Convention Center area. A defined truck route will minimize traffic impact with a one-way path for trucks.
