Heads up to those traveling on I-35 this weekend through Waco. I-35 will be closed and traffic will be routed on the frontage roads but you can take the loop around Waco to avoid the mess. The alternative is to find your way to New Road and head down to Armadillo Harley-Davidson to see the stunt shows put on by the DFW Hooligans. You can check Armadillos FB page for the event times.

I-35 WACO SOUTH | Beginning Friday night, TxDOT and its contractor will begin removal of the South Valley Mills Drive direct connect to northbound I-35 as part of the My35 Waco South Construction Project.
Work will take approximately 24 hours and require closure of:
โข All I-35 mainlanes between New Road and 12th Street
โข East/westbound crossings at 17th & 18th Streets, Valley Mills Drive, and Irving Lee Street/Primrose Drive
Following the removal, the Irving Lee Street/Primrose Drive underpass will remain closed for an additional 14 days for drainage and utility work, with reopening anticipated on Saturday, Aug. 22.
These closures will allow crews to safely remove the direct connect and begin preparations to construct the new Diverging Diamond Intersection (DDI) planned for the area.
