In March of 2024, Austin city leaders secured a grant worth approximately $105 million dollars from the U.S. Department of Transportation to help progress an I-35 revamp in downtown Austin.[1] The project, which has come to be known as the "cap and stitch program" will involve tearing down the upper decks of I-35 and adding four high occupancy lanes between Ben White Blvd. and U.S. 290 East, and will cost around $881 million in caps and stitches alone.[2] The total cost of the project is estimated to be $4.5 billion.[3]
