AUSTIN (Talk1370.com) -- State officials are taking input on the agency's plans for Interstate 35 from north Austin to Round Rock.
Texas Department of Transportation officials opened a public hearing Monday detailing the I-35 Capital Express North project, which will stretch from U.S. Highway 290 East all the way to State Highway 45 North.
The project, as currently proposed, calls for adding one non-tolled high-occupancy vehicle managed lane in each direction between US 290 and SH 45. The plan also calls for reconstructing a number of bridges, improving biking and walking paths, and adding a "diverging diamond" intersection at Wells Branch Parkway.
According to the plan, construction on the $400 million project is expected to start in 2022 and be completed in 2027.
Those wishing to give comment in person can call 512-522-6949 to make an appointment to visit the TxDOT offices at 7901 North IH-35. A virtual public hearing will continue through June 10, offering residents the chance to comment on the web, via email, or via voicemail.
More details on the project, as well as how you can leave your comments, can be found at TxDOT's website.
