Here's Your List Of I-35 Lane Closures For Nov. 10-16, 2018

Believe it or not, Texas Department of Transportation feels your pain. So weekly, they give drivers a heads-up on lanes scheduled for work.

AUSTIN, TEXAS — Motorists often mutter under their breath when stuck in traffic along Interstate 35 traffic lanes that are being improved, re-striped or expanded. In their fury as they head at a snail's pace to their destinations, drivers forget that these road enhancements will pay dividends in the future in the way of their commute in ensuring more seamless, safe and uninterrupted travel.

Granted, it's often tough to achieve this forward-thinking perspective when stuck in traffic — regardless of the eventual infrastructure payoff. The target of their ire: The Texas Department of Transportation. As if sensing this collective frustration, TxDot weekly offers a list of I-35 lanes scheduled for work, yielding a heads-up primer — a navigational guide, if you will — for drivers in alerting to road work. Drivers can use this guide to plot their trips accordingly, perhaps plotting out alternate routes to circumvent those work sites.

Which is all to say that the latest list of I-35 road work for Nov 10-16 has been released. Take a look at where lanes to be worked on will be in the coming days. Serenity now!
