Increasing growth in the Rainey Street district is expected to bring the closure of a portion of Red River Street until the beginning of South by Southwest in March. The closure is necessary to complete utilities work related to the installation of chilled water lines for 98 Red River St., which, when completed, will become the site of what was once predicted to be the tallest tower in Texas.
In a memo issued last week, the Transportation Department notified members of City Council of the expected closure of Red River from East Cesar Chavez Street to Driskill Street for weeks beginning this month. The total closure is required because of the need to excavate 20 feet below ground, with the necessary machinery likely taking up the entire roadway.
Frustrating for almost everyone, but I suppose it needs to get done one way or the other. This development and a couple others around Rainey (the Modern, Paseo, etc.) are in the strange situation of not being able to defer the obtrusive work until nighttime, given that Rainey is even more popular around that time.
Great updates to both 98RR and Travis! I feel like Travis is moving kinda slow compared to the others around it (except maybe the modern). Nevertheless, you’ve got some great videos. I like the smoothness of your flying and how you take your time at each location so it never feels rushed.
Thanks dudes. Someone requested it on my youtube channel today, so I figured if the people want it, I shall deliver. My ultimate goal (not really) is to popularize the silent cityscape drone footage. Background noise (music) impairs the experience. With that being said, though, if I could upload Sigur Ros or some Radiohead to imbed in the videos, I'd sell out and "litter" all my videos with that.
Nice shots. I drove past yesterday and was impressed with how much headway they've made -- not only on this one but the Travis as well. Things are moving over there, for sure.
