Massive Protest in Austin Demands Halt to I-35 Expansion

Over 300 people gathered in Austin to protest the Texas Department of Transportation's (TxDOT) plans to widen Interstate 35 through Central Austin. The rally, organized by the group Rethink35, aimed to halt the $4.5 billion highway expansion project and garnered support from local elected officials. The project, set to begin in mid-2024 and last a decade, has faced concerns about environmental and air quality effects. Calls for action included pressuring the Capital Area Metropolitan Planning Organization and potential litigation against TxDOT. Rethink35 plans to file another lawsuit against TxDOT focusing on the project's environmental impacts.

I-35 Expansion Forces Austinites to Relocate

The widening of Interstate 35 in Austin, Texas, is set to displace dozens of homes and businesses, including apartments, restaurants, health care providers, and small businesses. The Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) will buy the properties and cover moving expenses, but residents and business owners are concerned about the disruption and financial losses. TxDOT's plans for the $4.5 billion project, known as I-35 Capital Express Central, include tearing down the upper decks and adding two lanes in each direction. The construction timeline spans a decade, and the project will require the seizure of over 54 acres of land through eminent domain.
