Southern Portion Of Tollway To Close For Weekend

The North Texas Tollway Authority will close the southern portion of the Dallas North Tollway from 8:00 p.m. Saturday, October 21, until 5 a.m. Monday, October 23.  Closures extend from IH 35E (Stemmons Freeway) to Northwest Highway (Loop 12). Temporary closures are needed in order to demolish the Cedar Springs bridge. Please seek alternate routes.

The NTTA plans closures for times of lowest traffic volume. Residents and businesses in the area should expect loud demolition noise from heavy equipment for the duration of that weekend.

In addition, eastbound Cedar Springs Road is now closed to traffic and will remain closed until mid-March 2007. Westbound Cedar Springs at the Tollway is now one lane only. The east end of Lucas Street at Cedar Springs and the Tollway will also be closed during that five-month interval.

For more information and for timely updates, please consult www.ntta.org or call 214-224-3030. Click here to read about the south end Tollway improvements.

In the case of inclement weather, the closure will again be postponed one week.
