CONSTRUCTION COMING: TxDOT breaks ground on Interstate 35 at SH 123 project

With cars whizzing by on Interstate 35, the Texas Department of Transportation broke ground on its upcoming I-35 at State Highway 123 project in San Marcos. 

TxDOT officials were joined Wednesday by Hays County Commissioner Pct. 2 Mark Jones and San Marcos Mayor Jane Hughson at a ceremony marking the project's beginning. 

“In fact this is the 20th project that we’ve broken ground on in the last 10 years of developing the Mobility35 program,” TxDOT Austin District Engineer Tucker Ferguson said. “This section of I-35 carries a little over 150,000 vehicles a day. So, it’s very important that we improve safety, address congestion, address mobility and continue with the growth that we’ve seen in San Marcos and Hays County.”
