Kyle, Buda to get new Texas U-turns

By Andy Sevilla.

An $11.5 million project adding u-turn lanes to four Interstate 35 overpasses in Kyle and Buda is in the works with rollout expected in early January. The mobility improvements will allow drivers to u-turn from one frontage road to the other, bypassing traffic lights at the bridges, much like the Kyle Crossing overpass on Exit 217. 

Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) officials announced at a preconstruction conference last week that the project, scheduled to begin on Jan. 6, should take about 15 months to complete.
