My35 Waco South Project- Aerial Construction Update
Construction on the south portion of Interstate 35 in Waco began in February 2025 and is scheduled to continue through early 2029. This major $234 million infrastructure project focuses on the three-mile stretch between 12th Street and Highway 6 and represents the final phase of the I-35 reconstruction through Waco.
Once completed, the project will deliver:
Eight wider main lanes (four in each direction)
Continuous frontage roads with redesigned ramps
Improved pedestrian and bicycle safety with new sidewalks
Rebuilt crossings with U-turn lanes
Utility and drainage upgrades
This follows the successful completion of the I-35 Waco North section between North Loop 340 and 12th Street, finished in November 2022.
