Upon completion of this work, traffic on northbound Hulen Street will be diverted on to the west half of the Hulen Street Bridge. This will create one lane of traffic in each direction on the west half of the Hulen Street bridge above the train tracks. The lane closures are expected to last until April 2011.
Crews closed one lane on eastbound West Vickery Boulevard immediately west of Hulen Street earlier this month. This closure is necessary so crews may proceed with construction related to the Southwest Parkway at the Union Pacific Railroad Yard immediately to the south. The lane closure is expected to remain until April 2011.
Crews are closing both the Rosedale Street connector entrance and exit to I-30 as of Thursday, April 1. These closures are necessary so that the existing bridges can be demolished and new ones can be constructed. Due to this construction, drivers will no longer be able to make a direct connection to Forest Park Boulevard off East Vickery Boulevard. All eastbound traffic on East Vickery Boulevard will be redirected onto eastbound I-30 under the Rosedale Street connector ramps. In addition, the right lane on eastbound I-30 will be turned into an exit only lane for University Drive. Crews will update all overhead signs to show this change. The construction of the new bridges is expected to be completed by April 2011.
