*LONG TERM CLOSURE: SPECIAL TRAFFIC ALERT

On Sunday, April 25 at 10 p.m., the existing northbound I-35 to northbound US 183 flyover will close to traffic, weather permitting.

During the closure, crews will demolish and reconstruct a portion of the flyover. Construction is expected to last approximately four months.

To accommodate this reconstruction, a long-term detour will be put in place.

Northbound I-35 drivers wishing to access northbound US 183 will use the Rundberg Lane exit (#241) and take the non-signalized U-turn at Rundberg Lane to access the new southbound I-35 to northbound US 183 flyover.
