A bit off topic, but what's the plan with I-345? Have they decided to demolish it or bury it?

It's gonna be buried. TxDOT says they will not build a boulevard like the urbanists are pushing for. Also, the city doesn't own the freeway, so TxDOT can basically do what they want with the corridor. So, the alternative is a hybrid option. It will be in a trench with city streets running on top. It's being designed that it can be capped over.
Here's the most recent flyover. The capacity isn't being increased, this is all being done because TxDOT doesn't want to speed the money to maintain an aging elevated freeway long term. According to them, they don't build urban freeways anymore.
