Driving on I-35 might not be as bad as you expect this weekend as TxDOT and the Oklahoma Department of Transportation announced they will suspend work on most I-35 projects from early Friday morning until late Monday evening due to traffic expected for the Red River Rivalry game between Texas and OU. Between Oklahoma City and Austin, there will be no lane closures during peak travel periods.

Even though the absence of active construction will speed up traffic, it won’t stop it completely. The transportation agencies in both states are reminding motorists to be patient, expect delays, don't drink and drive, use their seat belt, and don't text while driving. Drivers can expect a traffic tie-up on I-35 in Temple at Crest Drive just north of Waco and southbound in Hillsboro and Belton where lanes go from three to two lanes.

By staying alert and patient and you can avoid a car accident while driving on I-35 this weekend. May the best team win!
