16-18 with the contractor reopening the interstate to traffic earlier than expected.
Previously, southbound I-35 work was completed Sept. This second weekend closure is part of an effort to lessen the disruption to I-35 traffic, shortening the project from an original estimated five months to less than two months, weather permitting.
This 4-mile resurfacing project is an interim fix to help preserve the pavement and improve the surface for motorists until future reconstruction of this section of I-35, which is tentatively scheduled for 2029. Friday for ongoing prep work for this weekend's full closure for resurfacing. Northbound I-35 will remain narrowed between I-40 (mm 127) and I-44 (mm 133) from 7 p.m.
