35 is becoming a real chore especially between Wells Branch and 183 flyovers. Narrowed lanes, rough entry and exit ramps, sometimes short entry lanes that less skilled drivers don't know how to deal with it. 3 weeks ago SB near Yager as that final real freezing cold front came in amid drizzle, a multi-car pile up with several injured and a car trapped under an 18 wheeler. This past Saturday around Noon a wreck in the left lane on SB 35 at Yager snarled traffic - truck rear-ended someone else. And this Monday morning around 7am SB 35 at Braker a multi-vehicle involving a truck caused injuries and snarled SB traffic behind the wreck and those who ended up on SB frontage approaching Braker and after Braker...and a lot of people ended up on Lamar from Parmer going south to reroute their commutes. Improvements from 290E to SH45 in Round Rock on the 35 corridor are expected through 2029. What a headache for commuters and random wrecks anytime causing havoc. It will be miserable for those across private and public sectors being called back to the office full-time.
