35W north of downtown to close overnight Friday

Interstate 35W construction will force all lanes to close overnight on Friday June 19.

Construction is forcing all northbound and southbound lanes of Interstate 35W at Northeast 28th Street to close from 9 p.m. Friday June 19 to 10 a.m. Saturday June 20.

Northbound and southbound traffic will be redirected along frontage roads, according to North Tarrant Express officials.

Meanwhile, eastbound traffic on Northeast 28th Street also will close. Eastbound traffic will be redirected to Northside Drive, with westbound traffic redirected to 33rd Street. Drivers should expect delays in the area and seek an alternate route, officials said.

Construction along the freeway is part of the $1.4 billion North Tarrant Express 35W project, which includes a section ranked eighth among the state’s most congested roadways.
