Dallas drivers will face significant road shutdowns beginning after dark Saturday, October 24: At 10 pm Saturday all lanes of eastbound and westbound I-30 will be closed between the I-35E and I-45/US 75 interchanges. The roads will remain closed until 5 am Monday, October 26.

Detour signs will instruct drivers to use the SH 366/Woodall Rodgers Freeway as an alternate east-west connection between I-35E and I-45/US 75 during this time.

Significant delays can be expected, so drivers are should avoid unnecessary travel in the area. TxDOT urges drivers to use caution in work zones by setting aside distractions, following posted speed limits, and being alert to slower traffic and crews in the area.
