My35 Waco South Project
Construction on the south portion of Interstate 35 in Waco started in February 2025 and will run through early 2029. The project focuses on the stretch between 12th Street and Highway 6.
The $234 million project will upgrade three miles of I-35 and will result in:
Eight wider main lanes (four lanes in each direction)
Continuous frontage roads with redesigned ramps
Enhanced pedestrian and bicycle safety with new sidewalks
Rebuilt crossings with U-turn lanes
Utility and drainage improvements
This project follows the successful completion of the I-35 Waco north section between North Loop 340 and 12th Street, which was finished in November 2022. Once completed, this project will mark the final piece of the I-35 reconstruction project through Waco.
During construction, please be sure to drive carefully and obey all traffic signs. We appreciate your patience as these improvements will benefit drivers for years to come.
