Overview

Phase One of the I-35 Expansion Project in Cooke County will widen 7.1 miles of the Interstate from 1.4 miles South of Spring Creek RD to 0.2 miles South of US 82. When complete this section of I-35 will increase capacity to six lanes of traffic.

Adding lanes, new bridges, and upgrading to current design standards will improve safety for all motorists.
