WACO, Texas (Dec. 14, 2021) – TxDOT plans to close intersections and an exit ramp close to campus overnight this week as crews work to reconstruct the I-35 northbound mainlanes and overpasses.

TONIGHT-FRIDAY: Alternating Full Closures - MLK Boulevard and University Parks Drive Under I-35

• Crews will only close one intersection at a time.
