SAN ANTONIO – Drivers on and around Interstate 35 on the Northeast Side should plan for several overnight and daytime closures Saturday, Sept. 12, 2026, as work continues on the I-35 Northeast Expansion Program.<\/p>\n
The Texas Department of Transportation said the northbound I-35 frontage road north of Rittiman Road, including northbound I-35 Exit 164B, is scheduled to be closed from 8 a.m. to midnight Saturday, Sept. 12, 2026, weather permitting. TxDOT urged drivers to follow detour signage.<\/p>\n
For that closure, TxDOT said drivers on the northbound I-35 frontage road who need to continue beyond Rittiman Road will turn right onto Rittiman Road, then turn left onto Fratt Road. Drivers on Center Park Boulevard, Dinn Drive and Remount Drive who want to access northbound I-35 will head toward Fratt Road and turn left, then turn left onto Eisenhauer Road and follow it back to the northbound I-35 frontage road. Drivers on the northbound I-35 mainlanes who planned to exit to access Eisenhauer Road via Exit 164B will continue to Exit 165 to enter the northbound I-35 frontage road, make a U-turn at Walzem Road to enter the southbound I-35 frontage road, then turn left or right onto Eisenhauer Road.<\/p>\n
TxDOT also said the southbound I-35 entrance ramp to southbound I-410 South is expected to be closed from 9 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 12, to 8 a.m. Sunday, Sept. 13, 2026, weather permitting. During that closure, drivers on the southbound I-35 frontage road looking to enter southbound I-410 South will follow the southbound I-35 frontage road to the signalized turnaround at George Beach Avenue, enter the northbound I-35 frontage road to the southbound I-410 South frontage road, and may use the entrance ramp south of Winnco Drive to enter the southbound I-410 South mainlanes.<\/p>\n
A separate closure is also planned for the same overnight window, according to TxDOT: the southbound I-35 frontage road south of the Fratt Road entrance ramp to Exit 164B, along with the northbound-to-southbound U-turn at Walzem Road. TxDOT said this closure is expected from 9 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 12, to 8 a.m. Sunday, Sept. 13, 2026, weather permitting.<\/p>\n
For the southbound frontage road closure, TxDOT said drivers 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. TxDOT said drivers on Walzem Road looking to access southbound I-35, and drivers on northbound I-35 looking to U-turn at Walzem Road, will be directed to follow one of two detour options.<\/p>\n
Under detour option 1, TxDOT said drivers will follow detour signs to the northbound I-35 frontage road, continue to the Northeast I-410 Loop, keep left to turn around to the southbound I-35 frontage road, 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
Under detour option 2, TxDOT said drivers will follow detour signs on Walzem Road, turn north onto Interchange Parkway, follow it to Fratt Road and turn right, then turn right to enter the southbound I-35 frontage road and enter the southbound I-35 mainlanes north of Walzem Road. Drivers looking to access the southbound I-35 frontage road will use the Eisenhauer Road exit.<\/p>\n
TxDOT said all closures are weather permitting, and drivers should follow posted detour signage.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"SAN ANTONIO – Drivers on and around Interstate 35 on the Northeast Side should plan for several overnight…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":432694,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[82,84,83],"class_list":["post-432693","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\/432693","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=432693"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/432693\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/432694"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=432693"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=432693"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=432693"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
