Description:

The I-35 improvements in Bell County stretch seven miles from south of Loop 121 in Belton to Loop 363/US 190/SH 36 in Temple. The proposed improvements include: improving the I-14/US 190/I-35 system interchanges; widening I-35 in Segment 1; and improving overall safety, connectivity and mobility. Currently, the existing typical section along this corridor of I-35 includes three general-purpose lanes and two frontage road lanes in each direction; the proposed typical section would include, in each direction, an additional general-purpose lane for a total of four general-purpose lanes, three express lanes, two to three frontage road lanes and a shared-use path. Segment 1 is part of a larger project that will extend I-14 from its current terminus in Belton to BU 190 in Rogers, comprising a total of three segments.

The proposed project may acquire new right-of-way (ROW). Potential new ROW would be used to accommodate additional lane capacity related to the I-35 improvements. TxDOT anticipates making a de minimis determination for this use under Section 4(f) of the Department of Transportation Act of 1966. Public comment on the effects of the proposed project on the activities, features, or attributes of Liberty Park may be submitted as described below.

The proposed project may involve construction in wetlands.

The proposed project may involve an action in a floodplain.
