$1.4B I-35E Expansion Breaks Ground Thursday
A new highway project that will eventually alleviate rush-hour congestion for thousands of drivers who commute on Interstate 35E between Denton and Dallas begins Thursday.
The $1.4 billion I-35Express project will have its groundbreaking ceremony late Thursday morning.
Crews will begin by adding lanes to several bridges in Denton County to widen I-35E to three lanes. As construction workers continue south, they'll keep adding lanes and repairing overpasses.
TxDOT will build a new southbound bridge across Lake Lewisville.
The I-35Express project will also add two toll lanes down the middle of the interstate. The toll lanes will have "dynamic pricing" that will change throughout the day depending on traffic.
