Lane closure alert! Texas 360 in Arlington

A big lane closure is scheduled this weekend in Arlington. Both directions of Texas 360 will be reduced to one lane -- weather permitting
-- from 8 p.m. Friday to possibly as late as 5 a.m. Monday at Division Street.

Motorists are urged to seek alternate routes. Those who dare navigate their way through the area anyway can expect to be detoured off the freeway to make room for the demolition of the old Division Street bridge.

Northbound traffic will exit at Abram Street, to Great Southwest Parkway and across the railroad tracks and back to Texas 360.

Southbound traffic will exit at Division Street, to Stadium Drive and over the railroad tracks to Abram Street, and back to 360.

The work is part of a $56 million project, which includes rebuilding Division Street bridge and a railroad bridge. New shoulders, ramps and continuous frontage roads are also part of the package. The work should be done by early 2012.

The traffic will not be reduced to "one lane" (second sentence), the freeway will be completely closed.

Chris: The Texas Department of Transportation tells me that traffic will be reduced to one lane AND forced off the freeway. In other words, those who follow the detour will be leaving the freeway in single file, and also re-entering the freeway in single file. If I remember correctly, there are usually lots of police around a detour like this to keep the single-file lane of traffic moving. Sorry for the confusion. Gordon.

Thank you, Gordon for posting this! With the ridiculous amount of construction in Arlington, I am relieved to finanally receive some warning, instead of getting trapped (literally) on the highway for hours with absolutely NO WARNING of lane and/or exit closures! Nice job! :0)

In 2012,there are some things in the world.I believe that will be the key to the London 2012 game.2012.Japan and Canada plan to make the transition in 2011, Britain in 2012 and China by 2015.India has entered negotiations to replace the Kyoto protocol, which expires in 2012, in the same spirit.
