Just thinking about driving down I-35 without traffic at Western Center makes us giddy, and updates at a recent 35W Coalition meeting tell us the $1.6B North Tarrant Express/I-35W reconstruction projectis targeted for completionby mid-2015.There are close to 2,000 people working on the project 24/7, including the center portion of Hwy 377 bridge over I-35 (shown here), where beams will be placed this month. Construction also starts this month on the first of two segments of the$244M I-35W expansion from North Loop 820 to US 81-287. (Translation: get a new map.) Construction for the $1.4B second portion is scheduled for the summer, says TxDOT project manager Scott Hall.
