In-person details |
TxDOT is providing an in-person hearing option for individuals who would like to participate in person instead of online. In-person attendees will be able to review the same materials and presentation as the online public hearing. Millennium Youth Entertainment Complex |
| Purpose | The purpose of the public hearing is to provide stakeholders an opportunity to review and provide comments on the draft Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) and the Preferred Alternative. The draft EIS is currently available below under Hearing materials and at the following locations:
|
| Description | The I-35 Capital Express Central project is approximately eight (8) miles in length and would include the removal of the existing I-35 decks, lowering the roadway, and adding two non-tolled high-occupancy vehicle managed lanes in each direction along I-35 from US 290 East to US 290 West/State Highway 71. The project will also reconstruct east-west cross-street bridges, add pedestrian and bicycle paths, improve transit accommodations and make additional safety and mobility improvements within the project limits. |
| Accessibility | The public hearing will be conducted in English. If you need an interpreter or document translator because English is not your primary language or you have difficulty communicating effectively in English, one will be provided to you. If you have a disability and need assistance, special arrangements can be made to accommodate most needs. If you need interpretation or translation services or you are a person with a disability who requires an accommodation to attend and participate in the public hearing, please contact Frances Jordan, at 512-953-7876, no later than Friday, Feb. 3, 2023, at 4 p.m. CT. Please be aware that advance notice is required as some services and accommodations may require time for the Texas Department of Transportation to arrange. |
