New Eastbound Lanes on Eldorado open on Monday.

The new eastbound lanes on Eldorado Parkway between FM 423 and the Dallas North Tollway will open to traffic on Monday, September 28, weather permitting. Eastbound and westbound traffic will begin flowing on opposite sides of the median. After eastbound traffic is shifted to the new eastbound lanes, westbound traffic will remain in one lane for a time as the paving work on that side of the roadway is finished. As part of this work, westbound traffic will be shifted into a different westbound lane at various locations over the course of the week.

At intersections and driveways, motorists should pay special attention when turning onto eastbound Eldorado Parkway to be sure that they are on the correct side of the median. Motorists approaching Eldorado Parkway from the south should pay special attention to the new locations of stop signs on the south edge of the widened roadway. In addition, TxDOT's expansion of Eldorado Parkway did not include a median opening at Rio Grande Drive. Therefore, westbound traffic will no longer be able to turn left into Rio Grande Drive and all northbound traffic on Rio Grande Drive will have to turn right onto Eldorado.

Motorists are urged to use caution in the area as people become accustomed to the new traffic patterns.
