The $14 million project, which affects I-35 from Loop 82 to River Ridge Parkway, will include the construction of new northbound ramps to reduce backups on the main lanes and frontage road, according to TxDOT.
More specifically, information from TxDOT states the project will see the relocation of the existing northbound I-35 entrance ramp south of River Ridge Parkway, the construction a new northbound I-35 exit ramp north of Loop 82 and the reconstruction of the northbound I-35 frontage road.
“The City of San Marcos is experiencing extraordinary population growth and it is expected to continue for the next decade, resulting in more drivers and increased congestion,” TxDOT Austin District Engineer Tucker Ferguson said in a press release. “The I-35 from Loop 82 to River Ridge Parkway project will address bottlenecks created by the increase in traffic and enhance safety.”
The release states construction on the project is expected to be complete mid-2022, weather permitting.
