NTTA closure for interchange construction

As part of NTTA’s interchange construction project, NTTA will close two southbound lanes of the Dallas North Tollway and a southbound exit ramp in Frisco over the weekend starting Saturday morning, May 22 at 7:00 AM. These lanes will be temporarily reopened Saturday night between 10:00 PM and 11:30 PM to accommodate traffic leaving the Jimmy Buffett concert, and then will be closed again for the duration of Sunday, May 23. Most of the lanes will reopen by 5:00 AM on Monday May 24. The specific road closures are summarized below:

Two southbound lanes of the Dallas North Tollway will be closed over the weekend on the bridge that crosses over Gaylord Parkway. This will reduce the Tollway to one southbound lane and motorists should expect delays most of Saturday and Sunday.

The southbound exit ramp from the Dallas North Tollway to SH 121 will also be closed over the weekend. Southbound motorists heading for SH 121 will need to exit the Tollway further north at the Warren Parkway exit and travel down the frontage road.

At 5:00 AM on Monday, May 24, NTTA will reopen the exit ramp and one of the lanes on the southbound Dallas North Tollway, but one of the lanes will remain closed. (The Tollway remains limited to two southbound lanes between Gaylord Parkway and Legacy Drive for approximately one year.)

Motorists are urged to use caution in the construction zone.
