DENTON COUNTY, Texas — Drivers in Denton County should plan for ongoing lane closures along I-35 and I-35E this week, with work affecting Denton, Sanger, and Lewisville.
The closures include a mix of daytime and overnight work and will continue through mid-January, depending on location.
While not every closure will cause major backups, the combination of reduced lanes, peak travel times, and nearby interchanges means drivers should allow extra time and stay alert in work zones.
Denton: Daytime and overnight lane closures
In Denton, drivers will see lane closures on both I-35E and I-35. On northbound and southbound I-35E at State School Road, multiple lanes will be closed during the daytime from 9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. This work runs through Saturday, Jan. 17.

Sanger: Overnight closure on southbound I-35
In Sanger, the left lane of southbound I-35 at Milam Road will be closed overnight from 9 p.m. to 5 a.m. through Friday, Jan. 16. While traffic volumes are typically lower overnight, lane closures can still create brief slowdowns, especially near on-ramps and exits.
Lewisville: Multiple overnight closures on I-35E
Lewisville will see the most significant impacts this week, with several overnight closures along I-35E. On southbound I-35E between FM 407 and Fox Avenue, the two right lanes will be closed overnight from 10 p.m. Friday to 10 a.m. Saturday. Because this closure extends into the mid-morning hours, early commuters may notice heavier congestion as lanes reopen…
