Work continues on phase one of the Texas Capitol Complex project on Wednesday, September 15, 2021.
The project will transform the four blocks of Congress Avenue immediately north of the Capitol between 15th Street and Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard into pedestrian mall. The Texas Mall will serve as the northern gateway to the Capitol Complex, and will have public green space for events and festivals. Phase one, which also includes two new state office buildings and an underground parking garage, is scheduled to be completed on time and on budget in the Summer of 2022.
