SAN ANTONIO – A closure in downtown San Antonio at South Laredo Street is causing delays for drivers.
The I-35 north lower levels are closed from South Laredo to Martin streets near downtown for bridge joint replacements. The two inside lanes on the upper level are also closed.
The closure began on July 7 and will remain in place for several weeks. The lower level is expected to reopen by the end of August. Work on the upper level is expected to last through the fall season, according to TxDOT.
Work is weather permitting and subject to change.
The construction is part of the I-35 and I-10 downtown repair project , which includes $25.9 million in improvements.
The project is estimated to be completed in 2026.
