What to expect. Drivers should follow posted detour signs and plan for extra travel time. TxDOT says that once the work is finished, drivers should watch for a new traffic pattern on the bridge and new connections to frontage-road lanes. Daily lane closures are listed at drivetexas.org.
Larger project. The work is part of a $348 million I-30 corridor expansion that will widen the interstate and add continuous frontage roads from State Highway 205 to the Hunt County line, and add new frontage-road bridges across Lake Ray Hubbard.
