I-35 FROM THE RED RIVER TO THE RIO GRANDE Commission Workshop Oct. 24, 2018
The Story of Congestion Relief Task Force made up of senior leaders of TxDOT challenged with developing a strategic plan to address congestion relief in major metropolitan areas of Texas. Addressing congestion in four of our five metropolitan areas developed a common roadway to accomplish congestion relief in our state --- I-35. Recognizing the importance of I-35 to Texas and our nation, TxDOT began focusing on work underway in construction, in development phase and remaining to be funded along the corridor. The purpose of the I-35 focus is to develop a well coordinated strategic plan among seven TxDOT districts to address one of our state s, and nation s, most important corridors. Deliver the right projects at the right time Develop project scopes to move people and goods efficiently Work with communities/elected officials to receive input with an emphasis on customer service Execute and deliver projects with a drive for finishing on-time and on-budget This workshop presentation, is an update from a similar presentation given in June 2017. 2
I-35 corridor by the numbers Corridor in Texas measures 505 miles and entire corridor from Mexico to Canada measures 1569 miles, or more than 30 percent in Texas.* Comprises 15 percent of Texas interstate mileage. Comprises 23 percent of Texas interstate daily vehicle miles, and 6 percent of all daily vehicle miles traveled. Comprises 25 percent of Texas interstate daily truck vehicle miles traveled (more than 10 percent of all daily truck vehicle miles traveled). In 2018, 15 of the 100 most congested roadway segments in Texas were on I-35, costing drivers $761 million annually in congestion costs.* *Texas A&M Transportation Institute 3
I-35 corridor by the numbers The value of goods moving along the I-35 Texas corridor is estimated to exceed $750 billion or 58 percent of the estimated $1.3 trillion annually along the entire corridor from Mexico to Canada.* Approximately 40 percent of Texans (11.4 million) and 43 percent of Texas jobs (9.9 million) are located in the 22 counties along the corridor (2018).** *Texas A&M Transportation Institute ** Texas Demographic Center 4
I-35 county statistics, 2018 and 2050 Population and highway freight tonnage for 2018 and 2050: Population growth results in increased freight tonnage on the highway. Top three counties in population are also top three counties in highway freight tonnage.

I-35 average daily trucks, 2050 By 2050, most of I-35 from San Antonio to Oklahoma will carry 20,000 to 30,000 trucks per day. This parallels expected increases in freight tonnage in the same areas, as population and job opportunities continue to grow. Includes 20 of Texas Top 100 most congested segments for trucks (2018), costing truckers more than $121 million annually in congestion costs.* 2050 *Texas A&M Transportation Institute 6
I-35 corridor industry clusters within 5 miles There are 2,161 freight industry establishments within 5 miles of I-35.

I-35 statewide corridor plan (2016) Based on addressing traffic needs to relieve congestion and provide connectivity. Implementation of these projects will result in at least six lanes statewide and more than six lanes in urban areas. Currently, $3.6 billion under construction. The 2019 UTP funded about $3.8 billion. A construction funding gap of $27 billion remains (2019 dollars). An additional 20 percent for engineering and ROW costs is estimated to deliver corridor improvements. 8
