TxDOT has started construction on the initial phase of the I-35 Northeast Expansion (NEX) Central Project, which will add capacity and enhance safety for drivers. This 9.5-mile transportation improvement project, from I-410 North in Bexar County to FM 3009 in Guadalupe County, will have three elevated lanes in both directions, including high-occupancy vehicle (HOV) lanes, and will incorporate flyovers to I-410 North and Loop 1604 West. I-35 NEX Central is the first of three expansion projects along a 20-mile stretch of I-35 from just north of AT&T Center Parkway to FM 1103.
This phase will directly affect our members who commute and conduct business along the route, as well as I-410 and Loop 1604, and several lane closures are expected to cause delays until July 16, 2022. Please be advised to allocate additional travel time and inform others of the possible delays.
The Chamber will work diligently to provide our members with updated information on the phases and scheduled lane closures throughout the project. Below, please find the lane closures expected for the week of July 10th. If you wish to learn more about the project or sign up for e-alerts regarding upcoming lane closures, please visit www.i35NEX.com. Please note that TxDOT will be giving 48-hour notice for lane closures and traffic switched that will be in place for less than 24 hours and a 14-day notice will be given for closures and traffic switched in place for more than 24 hours.
Safe Travels!
