The city of Richardson says parts of US 75, the service road, and the President George Bush Turnpike will be closed this weekend for work related to the DART Silver Line Bridge. They’re installing the northside arch on the bridge; the Silver Line connects DFW International Airport with Plano through Addison.
Work starts Thursday at 9 p.m. and ends Monday, July 27 at 5 a.m.
When complete, the bridge will feature two arches; the south side arch was installed last month. The city said each will be about 400 feet long and 80 feet above the roadway at the highest point; they will also feature white and blue accent lighting to help the bridge serve as a gateway and visual branding for the city for both rail passengers and drivers on US 75.
