Austin tracker · Counting since September 27, 2026
Austin Tracker
Every road closure, water issue, outage, construction notice and transit alert the city's agencies, utilities and newsrooms reported across Austin and the close-in metro, counted week by week. No login, no feed. Just the numbers, and where they landed.
What the numbers say
A heavier week on the roads, with I-35 coming up most. Water, power, construction and transit were busier than the week before.
Half of Austin's road incidents clear within 77 minutes. The longest ran 6.5 hours.
Measured from 295 with a start and end time, the last 6 days.
Half of Austin's water issues clear within 4.3 hours. The longest ran 9 hours.
Measured from 28 with a start and end time, the last 6 days.
Austin averaged 1.5 outages a day over the last 6 days.
Measured from 9 counted, the last 6 days.
Half of Austin's transit alerts clear within 5.5 hours. The longest ran 4 days.
Measured from 80 with a start and end time, the last 6 days.
Week by week
Weeks start on Sunday. One thing is counted once per place per day, and something that runs for days counts on the day it started. Brief lane blocks that cleared inside an hour are left out, closures scheduled to run longer than a week are roadworks rather than incidents, an outage counts when it left 10 or more customers without power, and stories about policy or funding are not incidents.

Areas, most affected first
352 placedWhat the map says
Tap a row to see it on the map.Areas are measured from downtown Austin: within 2 miles is Downtown and UT, within 8 miles (about where US 183 and Ben White run) is that quadrant of Austin, and beyond that is the metro. An item with no coordinates is counted in the totals but not placed on the map. Corridors come from the road a source named; a crash at an intersection is placed on the bigger road. I-35 is split into the stretch north or south of downtown, since one number for the whole interstate hides where the trouble is. Council districts and neighborhood planning areas are both the City of Austin's own boundaries (City of Austin, Geospatial Services), and each district is named here by the neighborhood reporting areas it mostly covers. Council districts cover the City of Austin only and the planning areas only the central city, where plans were adopted, so anything in Round Rock, Pflugerville, Cedar Park, Kyle or elsewhere in the metro belongs to neither and is not in this view.
Sources are read every ten minutes, and the counts are rebuilt whenever one of them publishes something new. Last counted Oct 2, 11:57 AM CT.
Only what these sources published. Nothing inferred. Counted once when an agency and a newsroom report the same thing.
