What Hath TxDOT Wrought?
The C/D lanes end, and new HOV lanes emerge, near Cesar Chavez, with some of the same oddities — northbound drivers taking the HOV across the river will fly over eight blocks of downtown before actually getting to the frontage road. Mostly to accommodate the HOV and the split for the C/D lanes, TxDOT proposes taking a lot of right-of-way on the east side, although at least one of these properties — at 501 N. I-35 — has already been spared because it’s a historic building.
