As summer progresses, major interstate highway improvements are rolling forward across the country. In the coming four weeks, drivers should plan ahead for significant projects—including closures, expansions, and safety upgrades—in key corridors nationwide.
1. San Antonio, TX – I-35 Northeast Expansion (NEX)
Plastic barriers remain in place as the long-term I-35 ramp and frontage road closure continues. The northbound O’Connor Road exit ramp and frontage road between Wayland Way and Bludau-Bishop Road stay closed to support widening and safety enhancements. These closures are slated to last through December 19, 2025, with more activity expected in the weeks ahead.MySAtecexpedited.com
A separate year-long closure of the westbound Loop 1604 entrance ramp (Lookout Road to Nacogdoches Road) also impacts local traffic, as part of braided ramp construction.MySA
2. San Antonio Region – Loop 1604 Nightly Closures
Ongoing nightly closures along Loop 1604’s major intersections—including Hausman Road, Babcock Road, and La Cantera Parkway—will continue this week. Maintenance work for the $1.4 billion North Expansion Project includes ramp and frontage road shutdowns, with only one main lane per direction remaining open.San Antonio Express-News
3. Texas – I-10 / U.S. 69 Eastex Interchange (Beaumont/Orange area)
Construction along I-10 near the Eastex Interchange was paused due to a utility conflict but will resume in mid-to-late October. Frontage roads are expected to reopen with two lanes in each direction when work resumes.Beaumont Enterprise
4. Illinois – Interstate 72 Resurfacing
Starting this week, a 6.5-mile resurfacing project on I-72 includes guardrail, shoulder, and drainage upgrades between Old U.S. 36 and U.S. 67. Though one lane in each direction remains open, expect slowdowns and lane shifts through 2026.Jacksonville Journal-Courier
5. Colorado – Greenland Wildlife Overpass (I-25)
Construction of what is claimed to be the world’s largest wildlife overpass is underway between Denver and Colorado Springs. This $15 million project aims to reduce animal–vehicle collisions by up to 90%. Expect intermittent lane closures and traffic modifications during its final construction phase through the end of the year.Axios
