North Side residents beware: The Texas Department of Transportation plans to close a stretch of Interstate 35 on Tuesday night as part of a long-running construction project.
The state transportation agency says it will close the highway’s southbound lanes at Judson Road, near Northeast Methodist Hospital, from 9 p.m. Tuesday until 5 a.m. Wednesday.
A detour will be available, taking drivers onto the southbound frontage road.
The closures are being made as part of TxDOT’s $3 billion I-35 NEX project, which is expanding the interstate from eight to 14 lanes along the Northeast Side. The project includes the construction of two elevated structures along I-35 on the Northeast Side that will support two new regular lanes and one carpool lane going in each direction
