This project will improve I-35 in Waco from 12th Street to North Loop 340 by improving safety and mobility, adding capacity, incorporating technology, and enhancing aesthetics. Improvements include widening main lanes to four lanes in each direction, improving frontage roads and ramps, reconstructing bridges, improving interchanges, adding U-turns, and improving bicycle and pedestrian access.
The Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) has planned a comprehensive communication effort to provide local, visiting and long-distance travelers with real-time information about construction activities, incidents, work zones and lane closures. Smart work zone transportation systems will be in place during this reconstruction effort. Throughout the project, TxDOT is using a comprehensive approach to help maximize the safety and minimize the travel disruptions for affected travelers and businesses.
