The Texas Department of Transportation will host a virtual public scoping meeting to gather input on proposed improvements on I-35 from US 290 East to SH 71/Ben White Boulevard.
The $4.9 billion improvement project, known as the I-35 Capital Express Central project, proposes adding two nontolled 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 project also includes various operational and safety enhancements that would reconstruct ramps, bridges and intersections, improve frontage roads, enhance bicycle and pedestrian paths and accommodate transit.
The virtual public scoping meeting will be made available on mobility35openhouse.com beginning Nov. 12 through Dec. 12. Comments must be received by Dec. 12, to be included in the official record. The public may submit comments on the proposed improvements using any of the following methods:
• Online: mobility35openhouse.com
• Email: [email protected]
• Verbal comment by voicemail: (512) 651-2948
• Mail: I-35 Capital Express Central Project Team, 1608 W. 6th Street, Austin, TX 78703
