Attention drivers: Heads up for those planning to traverse the westbound lanes of I-30 this weekend. The Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) has announced a closure on a section of the interstate for critical bridge repairs. The Randol Mill bridge over I-30 suffered damage due to a vehicle strike, making these repairs essential for maintaining its structural integrity.
Starting from 9 p.m. today, all westbound lanes of Interstate 30 will be completely inaccessible to traffic from Fielder Road to Eastchase Parkway. The closure is expected to fully last until early Monday morning, 6 a.m., Sept. 8, under conditions favoring the forecast. During this time, motorists are being cautioned to plan carefully and, if necessary, to take identified detour routes.
According to a bulletin posted by the City of Fort Worth, alternative routes are being advised to avoid any potential traffic snarls. The city has placed detour signs to guide drivers around the construction zone. Be prepared, as increased traffic volume on these alternate routes may add some time to your usual commute.
For those who have questions or seek further information on the road closure, TxDOT's representative, Val Lopez, is available. You can reach out via email at [email protected] or call directly at (817) 370-6630. It's always a smart move to stay ahead and be well-informed, especially when it comes to the unpredictable nature of roadwork and repairs.
