TxDOT has cleared a major bureaucratic hurdle, paving the way for the historic expansion of the interstate to begin next year.
The I-35 expansion from Ben White Boulevard to U.S. 290 East is being broken into six smaller projects. Completing them all will take about 10 years, TxDOT estimates.
The Texas Department of Transportation issued a final environmental impact statement and record of decision on Monday. The documents detail the $4.5 billion highway project and outline TxDOT's efforts to lessen its sweeping impacts on the densely populated areas next to the interstate. The newly released documents reveal small changes TxDOT made to highway plans and mitigation efforts, with more changes possible in the coming months. The final designs won't be nailed down until major construction contracts go to bid, which is expected to start early next year.
