The Texas Department of Transportation broke ground on an extensive $79 million road improvement project on I-35 from Stassney Lane to William Cannon Drive on June 29.
Improvements planned for the 3.2-mile project area include: Reconstructing bridge structures and building new U-turns at Stassney and William Cannon, reconstructing frontage road bridges over Williamson Creek, widening main lanes to incorporate shoulders and extended entrance and exit lanes, reconfiguring ramps, improving bicycle and pedestrian access, and adding new safety and high mast lighting.
The project is funded with money voters statewide approved in 2014.
Construction is expected to last through winter 2019-20.
