These photos show I-35E South before completion of expansion projects. The Horseshoe project, completed in 2017, replaced the Trinity River bridge. The Southern Gateway project, completed in September 2022, rebuilt and widened the freeway from the Trinity River to Kiest Boulevard, just south of the US 67 split.
