| Purpose: | TxDOT will conduct a public hearing to receive comments on proposed lane use restrictions on I-35 in McLennan and Hill counties. | ||
| Description: | TxDOT is proposing to initiate a lane use restriction applicable to trucks with three or more axles, and to truck tractors, regardless of whether the truck tractor is drawing another vehicle or trailer. The proposed restriction would prohibit those vehicles from using the left or inside lane on I-35 in both directions from approximately FM 2417 (Crest Dr.) in Lacy Lakeview to FM 1304 north of Abbott.
The proposed restrictions would apply 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and would allow the operation of those vehicles in a prohibited traffic lane for the purposes of passing another vehicle or entering or exiting the highway. All interested citizens are invited to attend the hearing and to provide input. Those who want to make official comments may register starting at 6 p.m. Oral and written comments may be presented at the public hearing and written comments may be submitted by regular postal mail during the 30-day public comment period.
