I 35W

We went up to Ft Worth from the RGV last weekend. We weren't up as far as 287 where the big project is so cant comment on that area. On Sunday we encountered a holdup north of Salado where long term construction has been going on. The lighted sign said Salado 8 miles 26 minutes but all traffic had to exit to frontage rd, about 1 hr delay. It looked like they were setting up a new traffic pattern. I would check the Texas highway info before your trip.
