AUSTIN – The Texas Department of Transportation will have a full closure of the southbound US 183 mainlanes and frontage road this weekend, in order to set large steel beams for a new southbound I-35 to southbound US 183 flyover, weather permitting. 

Beginning Friday, Aug. 2, at 9 PM until Monday, Aug. 5 at 5 AM, the southbound US 183 mainlanes and frontage road will be closed at I-35. TxDOT recommends drivers use US 290 East to avoid the closure. (See attached detour map.)

Main Lane detour:

• Southbound US 183 traffic will exit at via the southbound I-35 flyover, then take the US 290 East flyover and exit at US 183 to access southbound US 183

Frontage road detours:

• Southbound US 183 frontage road traffic will turn right at the southbound I-35 frontage road and take US 290 East to the exit for US 183
• Southbound US 183 traffic planning to go northbound on I-35 will turn right on the southbound I-35 frontage road and take the turnaround at US 290 East to access the northbound I-35 entrance ramp, south of St. Johns Avenue

Drivers are encouraged to plan ahead as major delays are expected.

Road signs have been placed to alert drivers of the upcoming closures. TxDOT asks the traveling public to be patient and remain aware when traveling through the work zone. To learn more about this project, visit My35Construction.org.
