> This segment of E Cesar Chavez (between Pleasant Valley and 183) has not significant updates in a long time, while the surroundings have changed significantly (e.g. lots of nightlife/popular restaurants). There also is no trail access on the north side of the river here (unlike the south side, along with both sides for the ~5 miles west of Pleasant Valley).
## Other notes
This project is getting federal funds:
> The project is partly funded by federal dollars awarded with support from Congressman Greg Casar's office. Additional funding sources include 2018 and 2020 Local Mobility Bonds.

**RE Construction Timeline**: Per email from Romani Lalani (Capital Improvement Program Manager) dated 3 April 2026:
> Expected to begin ~Summer 2027 and last anywhere between 12-24 months for construction. Our construction will be phased and is modular though, so the whole area won’t be impacted all at once; it’ll take place in sections.
