Dear UNT community,
We want to remind you of upcoming work on Interstate 35E, including demolition of the North Texas Boulevard bridge, ramp and frontage road closures that started this week, and detours. We also want you to know about the various ways to stay informed about the project.
Bridge demolition, and ramp and frontage road closures
Starting at 9 p.m. on April 29, the 35Express project will begin demolition of the North Texas Boulevard bridge to make way for a new bridge. During that weekend, traffic will be routed off I-35E and onto the service road. I-35E is scheduled to reopen at 6 a.m. May 2.
The following ramp and frontage road closures will be implemented as traffic is shifted onto new pavement on the northbound and southbound frontage roads near the bridge:

Additionally, UNT recommends that visitors coming to UNT Commencement May 13-14 use Fort Worth Drive to access campus. Learn about directions and get the commencement parking map.
