Southbound lanes to be closed overnight Oct. 31

Texas Department of Transportation announced in its weekly Seven Day Forecast that there will be a full southbound mainlane closure from FM 2484 to South of the Main Street entrance ramp overnight on Oct. 31.

The closure will begin at 8 p.m. on Oct. 31 and will open the following morning at  11 a.m. Nov. 1.

The interstate mainlanes will be closed to allow construction of the southbound mainlane detour and switching traffic onto this detour.

During the closure southbound traffic will be routed to the southbound frontage road via the FM 2484 Exit and will re-enter the southbound mainlane South of the old Main Street and be restricted to the right lane to the Thomas Arnold exit ramp.

The FM 2484 intersection with I-35 will be closed for eastbound and westbound traffic. Police officers will be at this location to direct traffic.

The intersections of Thomas Arnold and I-35 and FM 2268 and I-35 will not be changed.

Before construction began on the expansion of I-35, Texas Department of Transportation officials assured the public that they would minimize overnight closures on weekends and holidays.
