A Texan favorite: highway construction

​NORTH AUSTIN – A $124.2 million project to build three direct connectors at I-35 and US 183 between Rundberg Ln. and US 290 East has broken ground.​

Both I-35 and US 183 area serve as primary corridors through Austin but the Texas Department of Transportation​ says connectivity and mobility are lacking at the interchange.

TxDOT plans to build flyovers from I-35 southbound to US 183 southbound, US 183 northbound to I-35 northbound and I-35 southbound to US 183 northbound.

The flyovers are needed but there is a chance the additions could bring even more traffic.

The project is expected to be completed in 2021.​​
