U.S. 183, Interstate 35 Weekend Lane Closures Scheduled

AUSTIN, TX — The Texas Department of Transportation will alternate full weekend closures of northbound and southbound U.S. 183 at Interstate 35 over two weekends starting Friday in order to set large steel beams for a new flyover at U.S. 183.

Beginning Friday, July 19, at 9 p.m. until Monday, July 22, at 5 a.m., the northbound U.S. 183 main lanes will be closed north of Cameron Road. TxDOT recommends drivers use U.S. 290 to avoid the closure.

Main lane detour

• Northbound U.S. 183 traffic will exit for US 290 East just north of Manor/Springdale Drive, continue northbound on the U.S. 183 frontage road and turn left on the U.S. 290 East frontage road to access I-35. Once on I-35, drivers may take the northbound I-35 to northbound U.S. 183 flyover.
• U.S. 183 drivers will be able to exit after Cameron Road for Lamar Boulevard; however, they will be subject to a frontage road detour.
• The U.S. 290 flyovers to U.S. 183 (both north and southbound) will also be closed this weekend. Drivers will follow westbound U.S. 290 East to gain access to I-35 and U.S. 183 north. Drivers on westbound U.S. 290 East will exit Berkman Drive and take the turnaround to gain access to U.S. 183 south.

Frontage road detours

• The northbound U.S. 183 frontage road will be closed at I-35. Drivers will turn right at the northbound I-35 frontage road, take the turnaround at Rundberg Lane, and head south on the southbound I-35 frontage road to access U.S. 183.
• The northbound I-35 frontage road will be closed at U.S. 183. Drivers will turn right at the southbound U.S. 183 frontage road, take the turnaround at Cameron Road, and head north on the northbound U.S. 183 frontage road to access I-35.

Beginning Friday, July 26, at 9 p.m. until Monday, July 29, at 5 a.m., the southbound U.S. 183 main lanes will be closed at I-35. TxDOT recommends drivers use US 290 East to avoid the closure.

Mainlane detour

• Southbound U.S. 183 traffic will exit for southbound I-35 and then take U.S. 290 East to access U.S. 183.

Frontage road detours

• The southbound US 183 frontage road will be closed at I-35. Drivers will turn right at the southbound I-35 frontage road and take US 290 East to access U.S. 183
• To access northbound I-35, drivers on southbound U.S. 183 will turn right at the southbound I-35 frontage road and take the turnaround at U.S. 290 East

Drivers are encouraged to plan ahead as major delays are expected.
