I-35 mainlanes to close for Williams Drive bridge beam set

The Texas Department of Transportation will close the southbound I-35 mainlanes on Saturday to set beams on the Williams Drive bridge.

At 9 p.m. on Friday, July 14, northbound I-35 will be reduced to one lane between Hwy. 29 and Lakeway Drive. Drivers should expect delays. All lanes will reopen to traffic by 9 a.m. Saturday.

At 9 p.m. on Saturday, July 15, the southbound I-35 mainlanes will close between Lakeway Drive and Hwy. 29. Traffic will use the Williams Drive exit (262) and re-enter the mainlanes at the Hwy. 29 entrance ramp. All lanes will reopen to traffic by 10 a.m. Sunday, weather permitting.

The Williams Drive bridge will also be closed during the beam set. Eastbound traffic will detour to the southbound I-35 frontage road and use the U-turn at Hwy. 29 to access Williams Drive. Westbound traffic will detour to the northbound I-35 frontage road before turning left at the signalized intersection at Lakeway Drive to access Williams Drive.

The I-35 at Williams Drive project is expected to be complete by late 2023, weather permitting.
