Eastbound and westbound traffic on Interstate 20 near the Collins Street exit will be re-routed onto the service roads on Saturday, Aug. 14 and Sunday, Aug. 15. Contractors will be installing beams to support a new Collins Street bridge over I-20 in south Arlington.

Project Engineer David Parrish said electronic message boards and signage in Grand Prairie and Fort Worth will advise motorists to expect the service road detours.

Beginning at 9 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 14, all eastbound and westbound traffic on I-20 in the area of Collins Street will be diverted, Parrish said.

Northbound and southbound Collins Street, from Arbrook Boulevard to Bardin Road, will also be closed Aug. 14 and Aug. 15.

I-20 is scheduled to re-open by 9 a.m. Sunday, Aug. 15.

When this $3.7 million project is complete, two bridges will carry northbound and southbound traffic over I-20 on Collins Street. This project is scheduled for completion in December 2004.
