Status Updates
Update 10/28/22:
Beginning at 5 p.m. on Sunday, Oct. 30, TxDOT will close the northbound Interstate-35 exit for FM 1626/Kyle Parkway (Exit 216) to complete paving along the frontage road. The ramp and frontage road will be open for traffic before Monday morning rush hour.
During the ramp closure, northbound I-35 mainlane traffic headed for FM 1626/Kyle Parkway will need to take the RM 150 exit ramp (Exit 213), drive through the RM 150 intersection to access FM 1626/Kyle Parkway.
This is a part of TxDOT's I-35 Frontage Road Improvements project to reverse the northbound I-35 entrance and exit ramps, reconstruct the northbound I-35 frontage road, add new extended entrance and exit lanes between RM 150 and Kyle Crossing and construct a new frontage road bridge over Plum Creek.
TxDOT asks drivers to be patient and remain aware when traveling through the work zone. All construction is weather permitting.
Update 10/7/22:
Starting Friday, Oct. 14 and going through Sunday, Oct. 16, the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) will close the existing northbound Interstate 35 on-ramp that is just south of FM 1626 (Kyle Crossing) in order to open the new on-ramp.
Traffic going north will need to use the northbound I-35 frontage road to travel through the Kyle Parkway/FM 1626 intersection and enter the mainlanes at the next available on-ramp. On Monday, Oct. 17, TxDOT will open the new, permanent on-ramp.

Update 9/16/2021:

Update 9/1/2021:
The Texas Department of Transportation will begin work on the next milestone of the IH-35 Frontage Road Improvements project on Tuesday, Sept. 7 in Kyle, TX.

Beginning Sept. 7, a new Interstate 35 on-ramp near Bebee Road will be opened and exit off-ramp 217 will be closed. Drivers will need to use the exit at off-ramp 215. Traffic coming from Bebee Road will also need to take a right onto the frontage road instead being able to cut across to the on-ramp, which will be closed.
Starting at approximately 9 p.m. on Tuesday, Sept. 7 and going until 6 a.m. Wednesday, Sept. 8, the right lane/shoulder of Interstate 35 will be shut down from Kyle Parkway to Kyle Crossing.
