Woodland crossing closure shakes up Austin commutes

Losing 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. The detours aren’t just a minor inconvenience; for pedestrians, the recommended route adds over a mile to the trip. 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 #I35Expansion
