AUSTIN, Texas - The I-35 Capital Express Central project is going to impact the area around Lady Bird Lake and the Hike and Bike Trail.
What we know:
Starting Sunday, August 10, the parking lot under the I-35 bridge will close for equipment storage.
Later on, TxDOT says short segments of the trail near I-35 will be shut down for a week at a time, up to three times a year, for rebuilding the bridge in 2026. TxDOT will also build a dock west of the bridge.
Trail-goers may notice the trail shifting by several feet. There will also be detours on the north and south shores of the trail, but the exact spots have yet to be decided. TxDOT says there will be advance notice of those changes.
