The southbound Interstate 35 (I-35) mainlanes from south of Watson Lane to Conrads Lane will be shifted out onto temporary detour lanes with work beginning the night of Saturday, August 15. For the traffic switch to occur, two southbound mainlanes will be closed to allow for crews to work on the transition. The traffic switch is scheduled to be complete the night of Sunday, August 16. This detour will allow for the construction of new southbound I-35 mainlanes and the new overpass at the Parkway intersection which is scheduled to open at the end of 2021.
The southbound I-35 Watson Lane entrance ramp will also close on Saturday, August 15 and will remain closed until the mainlanes are complete.
The northbound mainlanes are scheduled to have the same type of closure in the weeks following the southbound traffic switch.
