TRAFFIC ALERT: I-35 Main Lanes And Posey Road Bridge To Close For Bridge Demolition

SAN MARCOS – The Texas Department of Transportation will temporarily close the I-35 main lanes in alternating directions on Tuesday, May 14, from 9 PM until 5 AM and on Wednesday, May 15, from 9 PM until 5 AM for the demolition of the Posey Road bridge over I-35 in San Marcos.

During the closures, I-35 main lane traffic will be detoured to the frontage roads at the Posey Road exit ramp 199. Drivers wishing to cross I-35 at Posey Road will be detoured to York Creek Road or Centerpoint Road. (See attached map for details.)

As part of the Mobility35 improvements at Posey Road, the main lanes are being closed over two nights for crews to safely demolish the existing Posey Road bridge. Following the demolition, the north and southbound frontage roads will also close temporarily to complete the bridge removal process.

The northbound I-35 frontage road between Posey Road and York Creek Road will be closed on Thursday, May 16 from 9 PM to 5 AM. The southbound I-35 frontage road between York Creek Road and Posey Road will be closed on Friday, May 17, from 9 PM to 5 AM. A detour will be in place.

Road signs have been placed to alert drivers of the upcoming closures. TxDOT asks the traveling public to adhere to construction signage and remain aware when traveling through the work zone.

These closures are part of the I-35 at Posey Road project that will improve safety and mobility by removing the existing Posey Road bridge over I-35, and constructing the main lanes of I-35 over Posey Road.
