The Texas Department of Transportation is hosting an open house on Tuesday, July 21, to share information and gather input about improvements proposed for the intersection of I-35 and Riverside Drive. Several projects are under consideration, including widening of the I-35 bridges over Lady Bird Lake, the addition of collector-distributor lanes under the Riverside Drive bridge, construction of bicycle and pedestrian facilities, replacement of crossings at Riverside Drive and Woodland Avenue, and other modifications. Among the projects’ goals are increased safety and improved traffic flow during peak hours. The meeting will be held in the Martin Middle School cafeteria, 1601 Haskell St., from 5:30 to 7 p.m. All public commentary submitted by Aug. 3 will be part of the official record.
