The Texas Department of Transportation will close the northbound and southbound I-35 mainlanes this weekend as work continues toward the demolition and removal of a portion of the original Williams Drive bridge.
In preparation for the demolition, the Williams Drive intersection, including frontage roads, will close at 10 p.m. on Friday, April 21 and traffic will shift to the newly constructed Williams Drive bridge by 9 a.m. Saturday.
On Saturday, April 22 at 10 p.m., the northbound and southbound I-35 mainlanes will close between Lakeway Drive and SH 29. Northbound I-35 traffic will exit at Williams Drive (exit 262) and re-enter past Northwest Boulevard. Southbound I-35 traffic will exit at Williams Drive (exit 262) and re-enter at SH 29.
The new Williams Drive bridge will also be closed during the demolition. Eastbound traffic will detour to the southbound I-35 frontage road and use the U-turn at SH 29 to access Williams Drive. Westbound traffic will detour to the northbound I-35 frontage road before turning left at Lakeway Drive to access Williams Drive.
All lanes will reopen to traffic by 10 a.m., weather permitting.
