Southbound I-35 weeknight closure set for July 30-31

SAN ANTONIO — Drivers traveling through San Antonio late this week should prepare for delays as construction crews close a section of southbound Interstate 35 overnight as part of the I-35 Northeast Expansion (NEX) project.

The full weeknight closure will affect the southbound main lanes of I-35 between the exit ramp at North Walters Street and the exit ramp at North New Braunfels Avenue. The shutdown is scheduled to begin at 9 p.m. Thursday, July 30, and reopen by 5 a.m. Friday, July 31.

The closure will also affect the southbound I-35 entrance ramp before North Walters Street and the southbound exit ramp at North New Braunfels Avenue.

Motorists heading southbound will be directed to exit at North Walters Street, proceed along the southbound I-35 frontage road, and re-enter the main lanes using the entrance ramp located just before North New Braunfels Avenue.

Transportation officials advise drivers to expect delays, allow for additional travel time, and follow all posted detour signage.

All scheduled work is subject to change depending on weather conditions.
