The Texas Department of Transportation will temporarily close I-35 mainlanes and various entrance and exit ramps between US 290 East and US 183 on Tuesday and Wednesday nights, Dec. 4-5, as part of a rolling closure. These closures will allow construction crews to safely place beams for a new U-turn bridge at St. Johns Avenue.
Beginning at 9 p.m. on Tuesday, Dec. 4, northbound lanes of I-35 will be reduced between US 290 East and US 183, and the northbound I-35 entrance ramp from US 290 East will be closed. At approximately 11 p.m., rolling closures will occur on the northbound I-35 mainlanes. Traffic will remain on the mainlanes, however speed will be greatly reduced as crews work to quickly place beams for the new U-turn bridge at St. Johns Avenue. Police will be controlling traffic during the process.
Beginning at 9 p.m. on Wednesday, Dec. 5, the southbound lanes of I-35 will be reduced between US 183 and US 290 East, and the southbound I-35 entrance ramp from Rundberg Lane and the southbound US 183 to southbound I-35 flyover will be closed. Similar rolling closures will begin at approximately 11 p.m. on the southbound I-35 mainlanes.
Road signs will be placed to alert drivers of the closures, and drivers are encouraged to use alternate routes, as delays are expected. TxDOT asks the traveling public to adhere to construction signage and remain aware when traveling through the work zone. Construction activities are weather permitting.
