TRAFFIC: Northbound Exit To Close For Tax-Free Weekend

The tax-free weekend offers shoppers the opportunity to purchase back-to-school necessities without paying sales tax on qualifying items in accordance with the Texas Sales Tax Holiday.

The northbound McCarty Lane exit ramp will be closed on Saturday, Aug. 11, from 7 a.m. until 8 p.m. and Sunday, Aug. 12, from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. to accommodate increased traffic at the outlet malls during Tax-Free Weekend.

Dynamic signs on the interstate will notify motorists of the closed exit ramps.

The purpose of these ramp closures is to prevent traffic from backing onto the IH-35 main lanes.
