AUSTIN, Texas — Three flyovers will close overnight Tuesday as Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) crews repair bridge joints on Interstate 35 and U.S. 290.
Beginning on Tuesday, April 7, at 8 p.m., crews will close the following:
- The westbound U.S. 290 East to southbound I-35 flyover
- The southbound I-35 to eastbound U.S. 290 East flyover
- The northbound I-35 to eastbound U.S. 290 East flyover
All flyovers will reopen by 5 a.m., TxDOT said.
Detour signs will be posted and drivers should expect delays. Detours include:
- Drivers on westbound U.S. 290 East will use the I-35/Waco exit and make a left at the traffic signal to access southbound I-35.
- Drivers on southbound I-35 will use the RM 2222 West exit and make a left at the traffic signal to access eastbound U.S. 290.
- Drivers on northbound I-35 will use the RM 2222 West exit and make a right at the traffic signal to access eastbound U.S. 290.
