The Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) has announced plans to close lanes for the demolition of the bridge deck beginning on Friday. Those traveling around the IH 30 area should gear up for some nighttime detours, as the closures are set for the overnight hours from 9 PM to 5 AM, lasting until June 6.
The contractor's crews are prepping for a full closure of John King Blvd., stretching from the IH 30 eastbound frontage road to the IH 30 westbound frontage road. According to Rockwall County, the demolition is part of infrastructure improvements and, despite the inconvenience, will pave the way for better roads ahead. Remember, these disruptions are scheduled for nighttime, so if you're a day traveler, breathe easy.
For the period of the work, which is expected to run from Friday through next Friday, June 6, here's what to expect: a full-on shutdown of the aforementioned stretch of John King Blvd. This is to let the contractor crews get down to the nitty-gritty of tearing down that bridge deck. It's going to be all about the heavy machinery, floodlights, and hard hats once the sun goes down.
