The design competion winner for the underside of I-35 between 6th and 8th was unveiled this week. Community leaders have been seeking creative solutions to mend the fracture in Austin that the elevated interstate caused decades ago. Kotera Reed's concept of gentle curves using light structures creates an opportunity to increase the safety of the covered intersections while not overdesigning for what could potentially be removed for a future "Buried" I-35 through the heart of downtown. Once SH130 is complete, apparently TX-DOT will have greater flexibility in their planning for the potentially massive construction project.http://www.austinchronicle.com/gyrobase/Issue/story?oid=oid%3A453485
