Traffic signals and two local businesses will be without power late tonight
CEDAR HILL - One eastbound lane of FM 1382 at US 67 and one lane on the
southbound frontage road of US 67 will be closed beginning at 11 p.m. tonight.
The lane closure is expected to be opened at 5:30 a.m. Thursday; however, it may
be as late as 7 a.m. for the work to be completed.
These lane closures are needed for Oncor to move an electrical pole at that
intersection. At the same time the lanes are closed, electricity in the area
will also be turned off affecting traffic signals and two restaurants in the
area, Popeye's Chicken and Taco Bell. Local police will direct traffic through
the traffic signals and the restaurants have been notified of the power outage.
Portable message boards and detour signs will be in place advising motorists of
the lane closures. All work is weather permitting.
TxDOT is striving to minimize disruptions for Dallas County citizens while also
working to improve safety, reduce congestion and improve air quality.  For more
