Presumably because of Airport dead-ending there. It's basically channeling both Lamar and Airport traffic up to 183.
Looking at
http://www.austintexas.gov/GIS/CAMPOInteractiveMap/
Lamar south of Airport has a daily count of 32k. Airport at Lamar has 19k. Lamar at Morrow has 42k (where the other 9 k went I'm not sure).
I'm not sure what the standard is and if a lane would be approved.
