The delays — known as “ground delay programs” — don’t happen every day.

Friday, May 23, 2025 by Nathan Bernier, KUT Austin City Council has approved paying for infrastructure that would allow for parks over I-35, a plan made possible by a state project to widen and lower the freeway. Council members voted Thursday to pay $104 million for support columns that would allow decks to be installed over I-35 from Cesar Chavez to Seventh streets and 11th to 12th streets.

Austin City Council approved a reduced plan Thursday to construct parks over I-35, a plan made possible by a state project to widen and lower the freeway. Council members voted to pay for support columns that would allow for decks to be installed over I-35 from Cesar Chavez to Seventh streets and 11th to 12th streets. Columns would also be installed for two smaller, 300-foot-long stitches from 41st Street to the Red Line or something equivalent.
