The northbound and southbound lanes of Interstate 35 just north of Bexar County will be closed beginning Saturday as crews work to demolish the FM 1103 bridge.

According to the Texas Department of Transportation, the closure will begin at 9 p.m. and is expected to last through about 3 p.m. Sunday.

Northbound and southbound traffic will exit I-35 onto the FM 1103 frontage road, then take the entrance ramp back onto the highway.

The FM 1103 bridge will only be open to westbound traffic after the demolition is complete, which should be sometime late Sunday morning, according to TxDOT.

The $7.2 million project will expand the FM 1103 bridge to five lanes, as well as U-turn bridges, and will be complete in summer 2019.

Editor's note: A previous version of this article said the intersection where the road closure will be located is in Bexar County. In fact, the intersection of Interstate 35 and FM 1103 is in Comal County.
