SAN ANTONIO — Drivers will see overnight closures this week as part of the I-35 Northeast Expansion Program.
The Texas Department of Transportation plans to close several I-35 frontage roads and exits north of Rittiman Road and along Eisenhauer Road from Tuesday to Friday, Oct. 6-9, weather permitting. Northbound I-35 drivers will lose access to the frontage road beyond Rittiman Road and Exit 164 B between 9 p.m. and 5 a.m. Tuesday through Thursday and from 11 p.m. to 7 a.m. on Friday. Southbound I-35 frontage road at Eisenhauer Road, Exit 164 A and the northbound to southbound U-turn at Eisenhauer Road will also close during the same overnight hours.
All closures depend on weather conditions and drivers are asked to follow posted detour signs.
Detour routes will shift northbound drivers looking to continue past Rittiman onto Rittiman Road, left on Fratt Road and then left on Eisenhauer Road to return to the frontage. Center Park Boulevard, Dinn Drive and Remount Drive drivers can use Fratt Road and Eisenhauer Road to get back to the northbound I-35. Drivers on the northbound mainlanes trying to exit at Eisenhauer via Exit 164 B will continue to Exit 165, enter the frontage road, U-turn at Walzem Road and then access Eisenhauer Road from the southbound side.
All closures depend on weather conditions and drivers are asked to follow posted detour signs.
For southbound drivers, those looking to exit at Rittiman via Exit 164 A will be redirected to Exit 164 B to Eisenhauer Road. Those on the southbound frontage at Eisenhauer will take a right on Eisenhauer Road, left on Austin Highway, left on Harry Wurzbach Road and left on Rittiman Road to rejoin the frontage. Northbound frontage road drivers wanting to make the U-turn at Eisenhauer should proceed to Walzem Road, use the U-turn there and then follow the southbound detour route.
