February 13, 2010 thru March 14, 2010 Download Document

Nightly lane closures on Woodall Rodgers will begin February 13, 2010 through March 14, 2010.  These lane closures will effect both eastbound and westbound and are necessary for the forming and placement of the center bent and the as a buffer for the wall demolition.
 
Specifically, February 13 to March 14, two left lanes of eastbound Woodall Rodgers as well as the left lane of westbound Woodall Rodgers will be closed nightly.  These nightly closures will begin at 9 pm and end by 6 am the following morning.  On Saturday's the closure will begin at 6 am and end at 9 am.  Sunday's closure will begin at 6 am and end Monday morning at 5 am.
 
February 21 to March 14, nightly closures of the right lane on westbound Woodall Rodgers will be closed to provide a buffer during the wall demolition.  During this time the contractor will ensure that only one westbound lane will be closed at a time though it will vary to accommodate the specific work occurring at the time.

Visiting the Arts District

Our friends in the Arts District are working closely with TX DOT to make sure you can visit the area with the most convenient directions and lane closure information. You can find the best directions, here: www.thedallasartsdistrict.org/construction.html.

Upcoming Lane Closures

In the next 2-3 weeks Archer Western will be doing further work at the St. Paul exit, removing part of the St. Paul retaining wall.  That will result in some intermittent closure of an additional lane.

In early 2010 we will begin to see the first beams spanning the freeway in the area of St. Paul.
TXDOT will probably need to do one more full closure of the freeway in order to demolish the utility bridges. That demolition will not occur until sometime in 2010.   However, there will be partial closures of the freeway through the life of the project.

Sometime during the month of February the Pearl/Olive exit will be closing.  There are actually two projects impacting this exit.   The existing project, “The Park,” will require a closure of approximately 4 months.  The second project will widen the Olive St. loop section of the exit and permanently close the Pearl “spur.”   When work is complete it will become the Olive St. exit.
