After nearly a year-long closure, construction crews will finally begin the process of reopening the Brooklyn Avenue and McCullough Avenue exit on southbound Interstate 35 near downtown.
24 minutes ago–
A TxDOT spokesperson said that crews will demolish the ramp starting in June and begin to reconstruct the ramp to alleviate traffic in downtown San Antonio.“The demolition activities will start next week, Monday, June 3. It will take place during the day, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., and the demolition is expected to last two weeks,” TxDOT spokesperson Jennifer Serold said. “After that demolition period, crews will begin the reconstruction of the ramp and that is going to take a few months.
“There are no major closures anticipated for the demolition. The only thing that will be closed is the frontage road area around the ramp,” Serold said. “It’s about 2-3 blocks on that frontage road of southbound I-35. But there will be no main lane closures. The demolition will take place outside of the main lanes.”
Serold added TxDOT did mitigation and studies on the remaining ramps around downtown to prevent a similar type of incident from happening again. That included enclosures around downtown ramps. This ramp will have those measures in place.RJ Marquez RJ Marquez is the traffic anchor/reporter for KSAT’s Good Morning San Antonio.
