Amber Mcguire+FollowWoodland crossing closure shakes up Austin commutesLosing the Woodland Avenue crossing under I-35 is a huge shift for South Austin. For decades, it’s been a key shortcut for drivers, walkers, and cyclists—now, it’s gone for good.

Emergency response times could also be affected, and neighbors are worried about feeling cut off from the other side of the highway. While a wide pedestrian bridge is coming (eventually), it won’t be ready until 2029. How do you think this will change your daily routine or the feel of the neighborhood? #Transportation #AustinTraffic #I35Expansion00Share
