PHARR, Texas — Starting on Saturday, October 1, the I-2 (US 83) eastbound and westbound main lanes will shift to the north side of Interstate 2 (US 83), from Jackson Avenue in McAllen to just east of Cage Boulevard in Pharr.
The new traffic pattern will require the permanent closure of the eastbound Veterans Boulevard exit ramp 146C.
The work is part of the I-2/I-69C Interchange project, which includes the widening of Interstate 2 to eight lanes. During this phase of construction, crews will work on expanding the existing eastbound main lanes on I-2, along this stretch of I-2.

Updates on the I-2/I-69C Interchange project are also posted on the TxDOT Pharr District social media sites; TxDOT Twitter @TxDOTPharr and TxDOT Facebook @TxDOTPharrTexas.

Once completed, the interchange connectors will each accommodate two lanes of traffic and Interstate 2 willwiden to eight lanes, between 2nd Street in McAllen and Stewart Road in San Juan.
