The northbound main lanes of Interstate 35 through North Austin will close overnight this weekend so crews can demolish the St. Johns Avenue bridge and U-turn bridge.
From 10 p.m. Friday to 9 a.m. Saturday and again from 10 p.m. Saturday to 10 a.m. Sunday, northbound drivers will be forced to exit the interstate at exit 239, TxDOT said.
The northbound I-35 to northbound US 183 flyover, US 183 frontage roads under I-35 and the left southbound I-35 main lane through the construction zone will also close.
REMINDER: Northbound I-35 will be closed between US 290 East and Rundberg Lane tonight from 10 p.m. to 9 a.m. and Saturday, June 8 from 10 p.m. to 10 a.m. Traffic diverted to the frontage road. The flyover to northbound US 183 will also close. #My35 #ATXtraffic pic.twitter.com/Cy9QtAoTTl

The new St. Johns Avenue bridge will open, along with two new U-turn bridges, in late summer, TxDOT said.
Last weekend, half of I-35's main lanes were closed the entire weekend. You can read more about closures planned for later this month and get more information on this project at My35Construction.org.
