The study will evaluate potential improvements along I-35 from SH 45 Southeast to CR 382/Cibolo Valley Drive. It will be conducted through a Planning and Environmental Linkage (PEL) study, which will focus on how to best connect the I-35 Capital Express South project in Travis County to the I-35 Northeast Expansion project (NEX) in Comal County. The PEL study will identify projects that can be further developed in the schematic design and environmental review phase.
