Re: Austin Texas Thread - 2018

Anyone know when we'll be able to see the master plan being presented to the city council?

Re: Austin Texas Thread - 2018

I would think we should be hearing about a more concrete completion date sometime soon. From what I last heard, construction is moving at breakneck speed.

EDIT: They're allowing departures on RWY13 as of 7:30 Eastern time.
