I-35 Main Street Texas has, through the years, been a preferred route for millions of Texas drivers including thousands of businesses that depend on the reliability of the corridor to transport goods and services across the state.

To maintain corridor reliability, TxDOT is spending $1.9 billion to expand I-35 from four to six lanes, from San Antonio to the “Y” north of Hillsboro. The expansion project is exceptional in degree, with more acreage under construction at one time on one highway than at any other point in the state’s transportation history. More than ninety miles of that project is through Central Texas, specifically the Waco District, from the Bell-Williamson county line to the east-west split north of Hillsboro.

Obviously, a construction project of this size impacts lots of Texans. So the agency is broadening its public involvement efforts to include a multi-year schedule of regular meetings with the business community to share construction information and gain feedback on project concerns such as mobility and access.
