Drivers in Red Oak face a year of changing lanes on I-35, as the Texas Department of Transportation confirms construction will continue well into next year. The ongoing project has sparked local curiosity, with commuters eager to know why the shift is necessary and what to expect on their daily routes.

TxDOT reports that repairs to a Georgetown overpass, damaged in an 18-wheeler crash on September 2, are expected to last four to five weeks. Travelers along State Highway 29 and Interstate 35 should be prepared for adjustments to traffic flow until the project is completed.

On August 7, the Texas Department of Transportation will hold both virtual and in-person meetings to discuss proposed improvements to the Grand Parkway, offering the public a chance to provide input.
