Why this matters in The Waco
The closure of New Road at the I-35 intersection will undoubtedly cause disruptions for commuters who rely on this route to travel through Waco. With the Texas Department of Transportation working to install deck panels and overhangs for the new northbound I-35 bridge, residents can expect detours and potential delays. This construction project is part of the larger My35 Waco South Construction Project, which aims to improve the infrastructure of the area. As the project progresses, residents should be prepared for ongoing roadwork and closures, which may impact traffic flow and travel times. The impact of this closure will be felt by local businesses and residents who use New Road as a primary route, and it will be crucial to monitor the project's timeline and plan accordingly to minimize disruptions to daily life in Waco. Alternate routes should be identified in advance to mitigate the effects of the closure.
