DALLAS - The Texas Department of Transportation is cooperating with DART,
allowing the full closure of northbound I-35E between Regal Row and Loop 12 on
Sunday, Nov. 8 from 9 pm through Monday, Nov. 9, at 5 a.m.  Southbound I-35E
from Loop 12  and Regal Row will be closed on Monday, Nov. 9 at 9 p.m. through
Tuesday, Nov. 10 at 5 a.m.
The closure is necessary to set/erect bridge girders over I-35E.
TxDOT asks motorists to drive carefully through the work zone, and has placed
electronic message boards to notify the public of the scheduled closures. Police
officers will also be present to monitor traffic during the closure. Motorists
traveling southbound on I-35E will be rerouted to Loop 12, Highway 114, and then
north on Storey Lane/Spur 482, underneath I-35E to southbound Harry Hines and
back onto
I-35E. Motorists traveling northbound will be re-routed to Harry Hines and then
Northwest Highway back to I-35E.
DART is constructing the Orange Line to North Irving/DFW. This portion includes
a bridge structure from the junction with the Green Line at the Bachman Station
over Harry Hines Boulevard and  I-35E, then along Storey Lane/Spur 482, finally
across the Trinity River, landing alongside the southbound Spur 482 frontage
road.
