WACO, Texas(KXXV) — Starting Monday, June 23, I-35 will be reduced to two lanes in both directions between 12th Street and South Loop 340, beginning with the southbound mainlanes.
Nightly lane closures are expected. Drivers are urged to follow signs and watch for crews. Once traffic shifts, several northbound exits and direct connects will close. The new configuration is expected to last about two years.
