Drivers traveling through Dallas on Saturday<\/a>, Oct. 10 should prepare for traffic disruptions as thousands of fans head to\u00a0 Cotton Bowl Stadium for the annual Red River Rivalry<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The University of Texas Longhorns and Oklahoma University Sooners will kick off the 122nd\u00a0 game at 2:30 p.m., but traffic impacts will begin long before the first whistle is blown.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Dallas police <\/a>said the traffic unit will be conducting 15 escorts for team and visitor buses, with intermittent closures from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. Road closures will occur based on bus arrival and departure times, possible accidents and general congestion and construction near Fair Park, said Erika Brown, a public information officer for the department.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Drivers can expect heavy traffic impacts along Dallas North Tollway, U.S. Highway 75, Interstate 30, Interstate 35, Woodall Rogers Freeway and roads surrounding the stadium.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Officers will be deployed near roads surrounding the stadium and fair to direct and manage traffic flow as short-term closures occur.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Parking lots near the State Fair of Texas will open early at 7 a.m. for both fairgoers and game attendees, said Taylor Pulfer, director of communications for the fair.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Drivers traveling through Dallas on Saturday, Oct. 10 should prepare for traffic disruptions as thousands of fans head…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":460154,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[102,104,103,93614,3233,17921,144221,154273,88572,122336,95188,840,4778],"class_list":["post-460153","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-dallas","tag-dallas","tag-dallas-headlines","tag-dallas-news","tag-ou","tag-red-river-rivalry","tag-service","tag-tp-college-football","tag-tp-state-fair","tag-tp-transportation","tag-tp-cotton-bowl","tag-tp-fair-park","tag-transportation","tag-ut"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/460153","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=460153"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/460153\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/460154"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=460153"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=460153"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=460153"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
