Give Yourself Time As You Travel On I-35 In Belton This Week

I left out of the house early this morning thinking I'd make it to work on time, but the traffic on I-35 had other plans.

I'm thinking to myself wow there must have been an accident because as soon as you get to Belton on 190 the traffic slows down and sometimes completely stops.

Come to find out, there are lane closures slowing traffic down!

Last week TXDOT announced they will close the two inside northbound main lanes of I-14 between SL 121 and Central Avenue this week.
