San Antonio drivers should brace for a week of travel disruptions as the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) undertakes an expansion project on Interstate 35. According to FOX San Antonio, the roadworks are scheduled for nightly closures between 8 p.m. to 5 a.m., affecting both northbound and southbound main lanes from Evans Road to Roy Richard Drive. TxDOT is advising motorists to anticipate multiple lane and exit ramp closures as crews toil diligently to enhance the highway's capacity.
The I-35 North expansion central project, which aims to alleviate congestion and improve safety, will also see full closures on the frontage roads and major detours in place. Further details on the precise locations of the works each night can be found on the TxDOT website. Commuters are encouraged to adhere closely to detour signs and plan their journeys to avoid getting ensnared in traffic delays.
Additionally, TxDOT has specified on its I-35 NEX Central project page that there will be long-term closures affecting lanes from FM 3009 to FM 1518, as well as between Loop 1604 Interchange and Toepperwein Road, with some disruptions planned through 2025. These closures are vital for the construction of bridge structures, as well as for striping, barrier installation, and temporary pavement work.
For those needing to navigate the affected sections of I-35, information about up-to-the-minute lane closures and real-time updates can easily be accessed by following the I-35 NEX Central Twitter account or by signing up for email alerts. The extensive work reflects a commitment to upgrading infrastructure and enhancing road conditions for the thousands who daily rely on this critical thoroughfare.
