A four-decade-old historic Arlington hotel that once towered over I-30 is set to come down in seconds on Saturday in a controlled implosion, officials said.<\/p>\n

The 19-story Sheraton Arlington, considered a sleek modern hotel when it was built in 1984, will be brought down to make way for a new Loews Hotels property.<\/p>\n

The implosion is scheduled for 8:30 a.m., weather permitting, Loews officials said. <\/p>\n

Arlington officials announced several streets will be blocked off Saturday morning around the site. East Copeland Road, AT&T Way, and Convention Center Drive will be closed from 6 a.m. to 10 a.m. \u00a0Along Ballpark Way, a rolling stop will be in effect for the 10 minutes before and after the implosion.<\/p>\n

The heavy rain forecast won’t stop the implosion, a spokesperson said, but lightning could delay it until it’s out of the area.<\/p>\n

In place of the Sheraton, the hotelier will build Americana by Loews Hotels, the third property for the franchise in the Arlington entertainment district.<\/p>\n

“This project reflects our strong belief in Arlington as a dynamic destination and our confidence in its continued growth,” said Alex Tisch, president and chief executive officer of Loews Hotels & Co. “Americana by Loews Hotels honors our heritage while looking ahead, bringing together scale, service excellence, and design to support group and leisure travelers alike.”<\/p>\n

The new hotel will have more than 500 rooms and is expected to open in late 2028 or early 2029.<\/p>\n

CBS News Texas plans to stream the implosion live.<\/p>\n
