The ramps will remain closed for about a month. Traffic will instead exit Pat Booker Road and follow the frontage road through the Forum Parkway intersection before entering northbound I-35. This closure will impact traffic on Loop 1604 in both directions.

| With the ramps from Loop 1604 to northbound I-35 closed, traffic will exit Pat Booker Road and follow the frontage road through Forum Parkway. |
Timing of the signal at Forum Parkway will be adjusted to accommodate the heavier traffic flow from the closure.
Local residents and commuters are advised to try alternate routes – like FM 2252 through Garden Ridge or FM 78 through Converse – to reach their destinations.
The ramps from Loop 1604 onto northbound I-35 will be reopened by early October. The northbound exit to Forum Parkway from I-35, which has been closed since late January, should be finished before the holiday shopping season.
The new Forum Parkway exit will be a braided-style ramp, with exiting vehicles bridging over traffic from Loop 1604 to northbound I-35. The effort is part of the $24 million expansion of I-35 through Selma and Schertz, adding an auxiliary lane in each direction between Loop 1604 and FM 3009.
