AUSTIN (KXAN) — Travelers in the West Campus area near the University of Texas may have noticed an influx of heavy traffic.
The traffic disruptions, which have occurred for the past two weeks, were caused in part by street closures near San Gabriel Street for the filming of “1923,” which was renewed for a second season in February 2023.
The Golden Globe-nominated show stars Helen Mirren, Harrison Ford and Brandon Sklenar, among others.
The popular “Yellowstone” prequel has been filming near the University of Texas campus, but drivers will soon get a reprieve.
According to a permit, the series will wrap filming in the area Saturday evening.
The central Austin location is just one of many filming sites for “1923.”
While Austin was chosen as a base for the series’ filming as it traveled throughout Texas, in July, the series was also filmed on the streets of downtown Lockhart.
It was estimated the series would put nearly $52 million into the local economy, as well as create more than 350 jobs, according to the City of Austin.
