TWIN BRIDGES | Beginning Sunday night, August 23, at 7 p.m., TxDOT and its contractor will begin switching all SH 6 Twin Bridges traffic onto the northbound bridge. By Saturday, August 29, traffic will be shifted to a two-way, two-lane configuration that will remain in place through fall 2027. This traffic pattern will allow crews to begin reconstruction of the new southbound bridge. Additionally, the southbound off-ramp to Midway Park and the northbound on-ramp past Fish Pond Road will be closed concurrently with the switch. Crews will temporarily close the north to south U-turn at the south end of the bridge the night of August 20 from 7 p.m. to 6 a.m. the following day to move equipment in preparation for the switch.

The traffic switch is part of TxDOT’s $114 million project to reconstruct and widen the SH 6 bridges over Lake Waco.

Just a heads up TxDOT will be closing all I-35 main lanes in Waco this weekend starting Friday night at midnight until early Sunday morning! Please avoid the area and expect L-O-N-G delays and detours if you must travel around this construction area.
