Due to recent weather events, TxDOT is rescheduling Virtual Public Scoping Meeting #2 to Thursday, March 11 through Friday, April 9, 2021. 

All comments must be received on or before Friday, April 9, 2021. This will be a virtual public scoping meeting via a pre-recorded video presentation.

Purpose:

The purpose of the second virtual public scoping meeting is to provide stakeholders an opportunity to view the project presentation and provide comments on:

  • How alternatives will be analyzed
  • Coordination plan and schedule
  • Project purpose and need
  • Range of alternatives

All interested persons are invited to attend this virtual public scoping meeting to review the project materials and provide feedback. All comments must be received on or before Friday, April 9, 2021, to be a part of the official virtual public scoping meeting record. 

Description:

The proposed improvements include adding two non-tolled managed lanes in each direction along I-35 from US 290 East to SH 71/Ben White Boulevard, with additional flyovers at I-35 and US 290 East. The proposed project also includes various operational and safety enhancements that optimize the roadway footprint and would reconstruct ramps, bridges and intersections; improve frontage roads; improve bicycle and pedestrian paths and accommodate transit routes.
