Interstate 30 in downtown Dallas reopened to drivers Monday morning after undergoing a full shutdown and demolition over the weekend.
The work that took place is a part of the ongoing I-30 Canyon corridor improvement project by the Texas Department of Transportation, and officials say another similar closure of the roadway is expected at the end of this month.
According to TxDOT, all lanes of eastbound and westbound I-30 were closed between the I-35E and I-45/U.S. 75 interchanges. Closures started Friday night and wrapped up around 3:30 a.m. Monday morning, TxDOT officials said.
More long-term impacts are expected as part of the nearly $900 million improvement project, according to TxDOT. They are as follows:
