Plan ahead if you’ll be traveling through Williamson County this weekend. The Texas Department of Transportation will close the northbound and southbound I-35 mainlanes to demolish and remove the northern portion of the Williams Drive bridge.
Beginning tonight, Jan. 20, the northbound and southbound I-35 mainlanes will close to traffic between Lakeway Drive and SH 29. Northbound I-35 traffic will detour to the frontage road at the Williams Drive exit (262) and re-enter the mainlanes north of Northwest Boulevard. Southbound I-35 traffic will use the Williams Drive exit (262) and re-enter the mainlanes north of SH 29.
The 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 and turn left at the signalized intersection at Lakeway Drive to access Williams Drive. O
nce reopened, the Williams Drive bridge will accommodate two lanes of traffic in each direction.
Closures will take place between 9 p.m. and 9 a.m., weather permitting.
Two lanes of traffic will be maintained in each direction on the bridge throughout construction.
