TxDOT finished upgrades to I-35 and Parmer Lane in north Austin.

The $24.6 million project replaced the traditional intersection with a diverging diamond interchange, reconstructed the northbound bypass lane and added a southbound bypass lane.

The project also constructed right-turn lanes and dual left-turn lanes at the Parmer Lane and North Lamar Boulevard intersection, and improved bicycle and pedestrian paths throughout the corridor.

The contractor for the project was Primoris Services Corporation.
