Overview

Project 1C is widening I-35 from 4 lanes to 6 lanes for approximately 8 miles, from FM 2484 to US 190 in Belton.

Need

Increased truck traffic along the I-35 corridor coupled with regional population growth in Texas has created travel demand that exceeds its current capacity. The existing I-35 facility through Central Texas is an essential element of the local and regional transportation system.

Purpose

The purpose of the project is to meet local and regional travel demands by increasing capacity; upgrading the transportation infrastructure to meet current FHWA and TxDOT design standards for interstates, bridges, and frontage roads; thereby improving the safety of travelers along I-35.

End Result

This project will address congestion while improving safety at this I-35 location by:

• Widening approximately eight miles of I-35 from four lanes to six lanes (three lanes in each direction).
• Upgrading on and off ramps.
• Converting frontage roads to one-way

Funding

• Construction Cost Estimate: $107 million
