30-360 project

Editor's note: This article was originally published July 27 and updated July 29 to include SH 360 closure information. Southbound SH 360 will now be closed between Brown Boulevard/Avenue K and Six Flags Drive beginning at 8 p.m. Friday, July 31. The closure runs through 7 a.m. on Sunday, Aug. 2. Crews will use the time to open access to the first two interchange ramps: a south-to-west direct connector and east-to-south connector. 

TxDOT crews recently marked a major milestone on the I-30/SH 360 project. The new I-30 eastbound exit to Copeland Road/Six Flags Drive is now open. The ramp connects the highway to southbound Six Flags Drive, giving drivers another option to enter Arlington's Entertainment District. 

Crews are also alerting drivers to an upcoming closure of I-30. The interstate will be closed between FM 157/Collins Street and SH 161/President George Bush Turnpike beginning Aug. 7 at 7 p.m. The closure runs through Aug. 10 at 5 a.m. 

 A complete list of closures is below with new additions in bold.
