Now is the time for everyone to weigh in on TxDOT's proposal to expand I-35 from Ben White Boulevard to U.S. 290 East.
-
Interstate 35 from Ben White Boulevard to U.S. 290 East in Austin will get two high-occupancy vehicle lanes in each direction along with a raft of other changes under the state's preferred plan.
-
The agency's preferred design would result in less land seized and fewer people pushed out than a competing proposal, but it would still expropriate almost 42 acres and displace 107 homes and businesses.
-
Construction is scheduled to start early next year on an I-35 expansion project stretching from Ben White Boulevard almost to the Hays County line.
-
Communities seeking to mitigate the effects of the I-35 widening find most of the city's resources are targeted at downtown Austin.
-
A lot more private property will be seized for public transportation projects in Austin through the use of government authority.
-
The state agency shifted boundaries for one of two I-35 expansion options after realizing the 70-unit Aria Grand apartment complex was in the path of highway widening plans.
-
The northbound and southbound frontage roads would run on the same side of the highway from about Cesar Chavez Street to Dean Keeton Street as part of TxDOT's latest revisions to the $4.9 billion highway widening.
-
Longer stretches of the highway would be lowered, downtown frontage roads could shift entirely to the west side and pedestrian crossings would increase under a proposal TxDOT developed in collaboration with the city.
-
The defect is not dangerous, TxDOT says. But some commuters don't like their vehicles bouncing 50 feet above the highway.
