I-20 RAMP TO CARRIER PARKWAY CLOSED THIS WEEKEND
_Detour will be in place to assist with traffic_
GRAND PRAIRIE - The Texas Department of Transportation is allowing the eastbound
exit ramp from I-20 to Carrier Parkway to be closed continuously beginning at 10
p.m. Friday, Aug. 21 - 6 a.m. Aug.24, 2009.
Traffic will be detoured to FM 1382 back to westbound I-20 to the Carrier
Parkway exit.
All closures are weather permitting. Detour signage has been placed and portable
message boards have been advertising the lane closure at these locations for
more than seven days prior.
This work is part of an $18 million "bundle bid contract" for routine
maintenance in Dallas County over the next two years.
TxDOT is striving to minimize disruptions for central Dallas citizens while also
working to improve safety, reduce congestion and improve air quality.  For more
