San Antonio drivers could face major traffic delays this weekend. The Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) is planning a near-complete shutdown of a heavily traveled interstate.<\/p>\n
The agency announced it will close all southbound (SB) main lanes of Interstate 35\u00a0from Randolph Boulevard to Fratt Road beginning\u00a0Friday, August 28, at 9 p.m. It will remain inaccessible for travelers through Monday, August 31, at 5 a.m.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Additionally, the SB I-35 frontage road and the eastbound (EB) Loop 410 to SB I-35 flyover will be closed. Only the SB I-35 to WB Loop 410 flyover will remain open.<\/p>\n
Folks traveling past the popular Cowboys Dance Hall or near Windcrest will be most affected. While inconvenient for some commuters, TxDOT says the interruption is necessary to install a steel bridge beam in the area. It’s part of a larger initiative, the I-35 Northeast Expansion (NEX<\/a>) project.\u00a0<\/p>\n Here’s what residents can expect on their routes, according to TxDOT.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"San Antonio drivers could face major traffic delays this weekend.
