Charles Milligan and J.P. Perez, N-Line Traffic Maintenance employees, fill barricades with water on Cesar Chavez Street near Brazos Street on Sunday. Underground construction to put in utility lines to the new Four Seasons Hotel building started Sunday.

Construction on underground utilities on East Cesar Chavez Street near Trinity Street began on Sunday for additional development of the Four Seasons Hotel. There will be temporary lane closures, with traffic allowed on the inner lanes.

Karla Villalon, a spokeswoman for the Austin Transportation Department, said the department expects construction to last two months.

Traffic control signs will direct drivers during the three phases of construction.

The first phase will begin with the temporary lane closures and will last 10 to 12 days. The second phase will begin the second week of November during off-peak hours, including 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., Villalon said.

During the third phase, scheduled for the third week of November, construction will begin on sidewalk improvements.

Villalon suggested drivers adjust for traffic delays during this time.
