SAN ANTONIO – Nightly closures tied to the I-35 Northeast Expansion Program are expected to affect parts of Interstate 35 and the I-35\/I-410 South interchange in mid-July, with TxDOT urging drivers to follow posted detours.<\/p>\n
The Texas Department of Transportation said the southbound I-35 frontage road will be closed south of the Fratt Road entrance ramp to Exit 164 B. The northbound-to-southbound U-turn at Walzem Road will also be closed.<\/p>\n
TxDOT said those nightly closures are expected from 9 p.m. to 5 a.m. Monday through Thursday, July 13-16, and from 11 p.m. to 7 a.m. Friday, July 17, 2026, weather permitting.<\/p>\n
Detours for the Walzem Road area<\/p>\n
TxDOT said drivers on the southbound I-35 frontage road will follow detour signs to enter the southbound I-35 mainlanes north of Walzem Road and use the Eisenhauer Road exit ramp to return to the frontage road.<\/p>\n
For drivers on Walzem Road trying to access southbound I-35, and for drivers on northbound I-35 trying to make a U-turn at Walzem Road, TxDOT said traffic will be directed to one of two detour options:<\/p>\n
Detour option 1: Drivers will follow detour signs to the northbound I-35 frontage road, continue to the Northeast I-410 Loop and keep left to turn around to the southbound I-35 frontage road. Drivers will then enter the southbound I-35 mainlanes north of Walzem Road and access the southbound I-35 frontage road from the Eisenhauer Road exit.<\/p>\n
Detour option 2: Drivers will follow detour signs on Walzem Road, turn north onto Interchange Parkway, continue to Fratt Road and turn right. Drivers will then turn right to enter the southbound I-35 frontage road and enter the southbound I-35 mainlanes north of Walzem Road. Those trying to access the southbound I-35 frontage road will use the Eisenhauer Road exit.<\/p>\n
Additional closures at the I-35 and I-410 South interchange<\/p>\n
TxDOT also said additional nightly closures are expected at the I-35 and I-410 South interchange during the same time windows: 9 p.m. to 5 a.m. Monday through Thursday, July 13-16, and 11 p.m. to 7 a.m. Friday, July 17, 2026, weather permitting.<\/p>\n
Those closures include:<\/p>\n

Detours for the interchange closures<\/p>\n
TxDOT said drivers on southbound I-35 who want to connect to southbound I-410 South will take temporary Exit 162, follow the southbound I-35 frontage road to the signalized turnaround at George Beach Avenue, then enter the northbound I-35 frontage road and follow the northbound I-35 frontage road detour.<\/p>\n
Drivers on the northbound I-35 frontage road at the I-410 South interchange will turn right onto Winnco Drive, then right again onto the southbound I-410 South frontage road. <\/p>\n
TxDOT said they will then use the signalized turnaround at Binz Engleman Road to enter the northbound I-35 frontage road.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"SAN ANTONIO – Nightly closures tied to the I-35 Northeast Expansion Program are expected to affect parts of…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":371539,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[82,84,83],"class_list":["post-371538","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-san-antonio","tag-san-antonio","tag-san-antonio-headlines","tag-san-antonio-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/371538","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=371538"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/371538\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/371539"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=371538"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=371538"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=371538"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
