The Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) is set to begin the next phase of its I-35 expansion project in Austin.
Located near Lady Bird Lake, this phase focuses on expanding I-35, a major route that serves a high volume of daily commuters.
The goal of the expansion is to reduce traffic congestion, improve safety, and modernize the highway to accommodate the city’s growing population.
The construction will involve widening the highway, realigning certain sections, and upgrading bridges to handle increased traffic.
These changes are essential as Austin continues to experience rapid growth, with more people relying on I-35 for daily travel.
TxDOT officials stress that the expansion will not only improve the driving experience but also support the local economy by enabling more efficient transportation of goods and services.
Construction will proceed in phases to limit disruption, with TxDOT encouraging public patience as the project progresses.
The expansion aims to provide a more efficient, safer transportation system to meet the needs of Austin’s growing population and support its economic development.
