Moving Company near Ben White Blvd AustinServing South Austin's Most Connected Corridor

Ben White Boulevard (SH 71 / US 290) runs east–west through South Austin, forming the southern boundary of South Congress, Galindo, South Lamar, and Dawson — and the northern edge of South Manchaca, Sweetbriar, and Westgate. Named after Austin City Council Member Ben White, who served from 1951 to 1967, the boulevard connects I-35 on the east to MoPac on the west, with ZIP codes 78704 and 78741 bracketing each end. If you're looking for a moving company near Ben White Blvd Austin residents can rely on, Mountain Movers serves both sides of this corridor regularly. We handle apartment, duplex, condo, and single-family moves across the South Austin neighborhoods that line this road.

Ben White is a high-turnover renter corridor — South Lamar alone is over 70% renter-occupied, mostly in 1980s-era duplexes that have their own move-out protocols. The boulevard itself has limited cross-street access between I-35 and MoPac, so knowing the correct exit in advance matters. The I-35 / Ben White interchange is also the boundary between two active TxDOT Capital Express construction projects, with lane changes and ramp reconfigurations happening on both sides through the late 2020s. Getting a crew that plans all of this before the truck leaves puts you ahead on move day.

The Ben White Corridor Runs Through South Austin's Most Diverse Mix of Home Types

West of I-35, Ben White borders Galindo with its 1950s and 60s ranch homes and bungalows, South Lamar with its 1980s duplexes and newer condo developments, and Bouldin Creek with its historic cottages and modern builds with rooftop decks. East of I-35 along E. Ben White, the landscape shifts to newer apartment communities — The Oaks at Ben White, Pointe at Ben White, and Veranda near the Colorado Crossing area — plus the Housing Authority's Villages at Ben White senior complex. South Congress runs north from Ben White toward the river; homes along the SoCo corridor are primarily single-family with high renovation rates, many with tight alley access and limited off-street truck parking. South Lamar's concentration of 1980s duplexes is the dominant move type in this ZIP code — shared-wall buildings that require move-out coordination with neighboring units. Each of these home types moves differently, and our crew arrives ready for whichever one applies to your address.

I-35 Capital Express Construction Near Ben White Changes Move-Day Routes in South Austin

Two separate billion-dollar TxDOT projects are actively under construction at the Ben White and I-35 interchange. The Capital Express South project — a $548 million effort — runs from Ben White south to SH 45 Southeast; construction began in late 2022 and is expected to run through late 2028, adding elevated HOV lanes and reconfiguring entrance and exit ramps at multiple interchanges along that stretch. The Capital Express Central project — a $4.5 billion effort covering the "downtown lowering" segment — runs from US 290 East to Ben White, with construction starting in late 2024 and continuing through the early 2030s. Ramp closures and detours from this project affect access to Woodward Street, Oltorf, and South Congress interchanges just north of Ben White. Nightly southbound I-35 main lane closures between Ben White and Stassney Lane have been used during elevated construction phases — crews approaching after dark should check TxDOT real-time closures before departure. The I-35 frontage road is the more reliable approach for Ben White-area pickups when the main lanes are disrupted; South Congress and South Lamar serve as clean north-south alternates entirely off I-35. The same construction detours affect moves in Riverside, Montopolis, and South River City, which border I-35 just north of Ben White.
