Various lanes will be closed nightly along north- and southbound I-35E near the Bonnie Brae Street Bridge in Denton from 9 p.m. until 6 a.m. through May 18 as crews continue work to expand the I-35E bridge.

This closure is needed for work related to the 35Express project, an expansion of I-35E between US Highway 380 in Denton County and I-635 in Dallas County.

Crews are continuing work on the Loop 288 and Mayhill Road bridges. Crews are widening these bridges to the middle and will partially demolish the inside of these structures. While this work is being performed, there will be nightly closures of Loop 288 and Mayhill Road underneath I-35E and on the interstate in these areas.

Grading operations and storm drain installation for the new southbound frontage road alignment north and south of FM 407 continues. Excavation work and utility relocation at FM 407 also continues as crews prepare to begin work on the main lanes.

Further south, bridge demolition work at Belt Line Road, Main Street and West College Street begins this week. Last month, north- and southbound traffic on the Lewisville Lake Bridge was shifted to the west to conduct drainage work and prepare for the new bridge construction.

All closures are subject to weather conditions and will be postponed, if necessary.  For more information on the 35Express project, refer to:
