A plan to expand I-35 through Austin is moving toward final approval after TxDOT agreed to several changed proposed by city leaders, like putting more of the freeway underground.
An Environmental Impact Statement for the massive expansion of I-35 could get federal approval this month, according to TxDOT. The $4.5 billion project, stretching eight miles from Ben White Boulevard to US 290 East, would get rid of the existing upper decks, lower the freeway below ground in some spots, and increase the number of lanes.
"We're trying to kind of push, pull and cajole them as much as possible to improve the project," said Vela. TxDOT has also agreed to bus connections, sound walls for the Austin Community Garden, bat boxes and a boardwalk over Lady Bird Lake. Vela says TxDOT also appears to be on board with a plan to treat stormwater runoff.
