Getting around Fort Worth could take a little more planning this weekend.<\/p>\n

Part of Interstate 30 in Fort Worth will close starting the night of Friday, Aug. 14 night and remain shut down through the morning of Monday, Aug. 17 for construction.<\/p>\n

TxDOT is warning drivers who travel through the area to prepare for delays and to consider another route.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s what to know.<\/p>\n

Where will I-30 be closed in Fort Worth? \"Nearly Nearly six miles of eastbound I-30 between I-20 and West Loop 820 will close at 7 p.m. Friday, Aug. 14, and won\u2019t reopen until 6 a.m. Monday, Aug. 17. Texas Department of Transportation <\/p>\n

Nearly six miles of eastbound I-30 between I-20 and West Loop 820 will close at 7 p.m. Friday, Aug. 14, and won\u2019t reopen until 6 a.m. Monday, Aug. 17, according to the Texas Department of Transportation<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cMotorists will be directed through a signed detour,\u201d TXDOT said in a post on X<\/a> announcing the closure. \u201cAlternate routes are advised.\u201d<\/p>\n

All eastbound entrance and exit ramps in the area will also close. Drivers will be directed to eastbound I-20 and northbound I-820 to get around the closure, while the I-30 frontage roads will remain open for local traffic.<\/p>\n

Drivers heading the other direction will have to plan around another closure next weekend. Westbound I-30 between West Loop 820 and I-20 will close from 7 p.m. Friday, Aug. 21, until 6 a.m. Monday, Aug. 24.<\/p>\n

That shutdown will include the westbound entrance and exit ramps, with drivers directed to southbound I-820 and westbound I-20.<\/p>\n

Why is I-30 closing in Fort Worth?<\/p>\n

This weekend\u2019s closure will allow crews to move eastbound I-30 traffic onto new permanent pavement.<\/p>\n

The work is part of TxDOT\u2019s Keep 20-30 Moving project<\/a>, which includes three construction projects along I-20 and I-30 in western Tarrant County.<\/p>\n

Together, the projects have a total construction cost of about $420 million, according to TxDOT<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Along I-30, crews are widening parts of the highway from two to three lanes in each direction, improving the I-30 and Spur 580 interchange and building new frontage roads.<\/p>\n

The projects are expected to wrap up at different times, with the final portion between Linkcrest Drive and West Loop 820 expected to be completed in 2030.<\/p>\n
