- **I-35 Alert**
I-35 northbound mainlanes will be closed in Salado tonight from 7 PM – 7 AM, to allow crews to shift northbound traffic to the new pavement between Salado and US 190 in Belton. All northbound traffic will exit at #286 (FM 248...4) and reenter I-35 just north of FM 2484.
The crossing at FM 2484 will also be closed. Traffic crossing FM 2484 will need to take the frontage road to either Amity Road or Main St. and U-turn.
There will also be a single-lane SB closure in the Salado area this night, so crews can shift concrete traffic barrier. See More - Going on a family road trip and need a game for the kids to play?
