AUSTIN, Texas — The Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) is advancing its I-35 Capital Express Central Project, which involves the demolition of the Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard bridge.

The I-35 corridor in Austin is known for its heavy traffic, affecting thousands of commuters daily.

The Capital Express Central Project aims to alleviate these traffic woes by expanding the highway and upgrading infrastructure.
