The project consists of three elevated lanes, including two mainlanes and one high-occupancy vehicle (HOV) lane in each direction. The I-35 elevated lanes will provide direct connections to I-410 North and Loop 1604 West.
Operational improvements will include the construction of ramps to connect I-35 mainlanes to elevated lanes, and reconfiguration of entrance and exit ramps throughout the project.
