PRESS RELEASES - JANUARY 2007
Copeland Road Construction Starts this Month
Re-Routed Traffic to Use Temporary By-Pass Roads Until 2010
January 19, 2007
Beginning Monday, February 12, a portion of Copeland Road west of
Convention Center Drive will be closed. The closure is in
preparation for the construction of a temporary by-pass road, which
is part of more than $150 million in roadway improvements planned
along Interstate 30.
During the three-week closure of Copeland Road, alternate routes
include Convention Center Drive, Nolan Ryan Express Way (from
Copeland Road to Road to Six Flags), Ballpark Way, and Randol Mill
Road. This area of Copeland Road is scheduled to be completed by
February 23.
When the temporary by-pass road is complete, Copeland Road will
become a three-lane asphalt roadway. Traffic will be re-routed for
about three years or until the completion of I-30 improvements.
Businesses and residential properties in this area are being
notified of the construction plans via information bulletins.
Portable message boards are also going up in the area.
Looking Ahead
Roadway construction in the Entertainment District will enhance
mobility and traffic safety. Baird Farm Road is under construction
to become a six-lane divided boulevard with a new bridge over I-30.
A new Center Street bridge and a modified Collins Street bridge are
also planned, along with I-30 frontage road improvements and other
Arlington gateway enhancements.

Arlington Office of Communication at 817-459-6402 or
