One Ramp Opens and the Other Closes At I-35 and Highway 19 Construction

By Logan Wells, News Director | Logan@kymnradio.net

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.
