Motorists traveling through the roundabout construction site at Highway 19 and Interstate 35 will see a significant change starting last night when the interchange’s northbound entrance ramp will close.
During this stage of construction, both the northbound exit ramp from I-35 and County Road 59 will reopen, though County Road 46 will remain closed.
To access northbound I-35 from Hwy. 19, drivers will need to follow the established detour: take the I-35 southbound entrance ramp to County Road 1, then head east on County Road 1 and head north back on to I-35 at that interchange.
Closing the entrance ramp will allow contractors to remove the temporary entrance ramp and remaining temporary bypass and to construct the new I-35 entrance ramp.
This phase of the project is expected to take about two weeks and the whole project is expected to be done at the end of the month.
