Beginning late July or early August, the direct connector from eastbound I-2 to northbound I-69C will be closed to allow crews to safely remove and replace the existing ‘McAllen to Edinburg’ direct connector.
A temporary detour route will be in place for approximately 8 months.
To access the new temporary route, motorist
- will drive east past the interchange toward San Juan,
- take detour route exit 147B, stay left, loop around at Raul Longoria,
- merge back onto westbound I-2 and take the Edinburg exit to I-69C north
The reroute will be a dedicated lane, with no traffic signals. Dynamic message boards and directional signage will be posted to notify drivers of the upcoming traffic shift and to guide drivers through the detour.
