I-35 Widening Between I-44 and I-40

[Plutonic Panda]

This project has been planned for a while and is scheduled to get underway later this decade. A preferred alternative has been selected, which will not require any property impacts.

This will modernize the entire road, widen it to three lanes each way, along with replacing all of the bridges, and modifying the frontage roads as well.

I was hoping they were going to complete the gap in the service road from grand Avenue to 23rd St. but it doesn’t look like that’s happening. That’s kind of a bummer.

I guess I never realized that the 23rd street bridge was made built big enough to allow I-35 to be expanded. I do kind of wish they would have replaced it with a SPUI though. Its odd to see a bridge rebuilt just to make it easier for two way traffic on the service roads. But I guess they pressured to do so with the homes in the area.

I think it will have to be replaced. I don’t think there is room for 3 lanes and shoulders there with current bridge.
