True, but there are only four E-W streets between the Capitol and Lady Bird Lake that go all the way from Lamar to I-35 without a break: Cesar Chavez, 5th, 6th & 10th.

According to google maps, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 7th, 8th, 9th, and 11th all have a gap somewhere between Lamar & I-35.

I didn't realize that 9th St. was closed where it went under the Post Office. I haven't been in that area in long time. I guess it was probably a 9/11 response since it's a Federal building.
