I ran into this while checking out the nature of the construction along IH 35 & 410.
https://www.txdot.gov/projects/projects-studies/san-antonio/i35-nex-i410-south-fm1103.html

From what it says is that 19.5 miles of IH 35 will have elevated express lanes that are not tolled and most of all allow all vehicles to use two lanes of it while only one will serve the HOV vehicles.

Whats the catch?   

Pretty sure the only catch is the obvious one - there will be limited to no local access to interchanges.

Austin has been this way for decades. A high (through) set of freeway lanes and a lower set of freeway lanes  with local access.

TxDOT is currently renumbering the exits along I-27 between Amarillo and Lubbock... going up from the 100s to 500-600 mile range to account for the future southern extension of I-27 south of Lubbock.

Today, I took a drive on the full length of I-27 between Lubbock and Amarillo. The only exit numbers that were changed was from the I-40 interchange south to 45th Avenue, and the exit numbers south of 45th Avenue has NOT been changed yet.

Did you happen to see if the southern extension of I-27 to FM 1585 is signed yet?

Yes, I did, and... it's not signed as an extension of I-27.
