Eastbound SH 183 Exit to President George Bush Turnpike (PGBT) Ramp
North and Southbound to Close for Night Time Maintenance Work
Overnight closures in place for full depth concrete repair work
IRVING - The Texas Department of Transportation’s contractor will be
performing full-depth concrete repair work on the eastbound SH 183 exit ramp to
both north and southbound President George Bush Turnpike (PGBT).   Both north
and southbound exits to PGBT will be closed for three nights from September 6
through September 8.  The overnight closures will begin at 7 p.m. and will
re-open each morning by 5 a.m. and will require both exit lanes to be closed
while this work is performed.
TxDOT’s goal is to minimize the impact of these operations on area motorists
and schedules the work to occur in the lowest volume traffic
times.
Motorists will be directed to exit at Esters and follow the appropriate detour
signage in place.
Message boards have also been placed in the area notifying area motorists of the
upcoming closures.
TxDOT would like to apologize in advance for any inconvenience, and thank area
drivers and businesses for their patience and cooperation as crews work
diligently to complete this maintenance project as safely and
as soon as possible.
