IH35 Will Be Closed at Ben White This Weekend [Traffic Warning]

Because of construction on the connection ramps between IH35 and Ben White (SH71), IH35 northbound will be closed Friday night at 10pm (the diversion kicks off at 8pm, though). Southbound IH35 main lanes will close on Saturday at 10pm. The northbound traffic will detour to the access road from north of Stassney to about Woodward. Southbound will detour to the access road from north of Woodward to a temporary ramp near Shelby Lane. To encourage drivers to take an alternate route, all toll roads east of IH35 will have tolls waived from early morning Saturday until Sunday at 6pm. By late Sunday night, the highway should be back to normal. [TxDOT]
