As part of TxDOT’s widening project, different segments of Custer Road will be closed between Stonebridge Drive and US 380 during the day starting Sunday, November 7, and continuing through Thursday, November 11 (weather permitting). The road will close at 5 AM on Sunday and at 9 AM on the weekdays, and will reopen each night at 9 PM. Each day a different segment of roadway will be closed. During these closures, Eldorado Parkway and Virginia Parkway will always be open for east-west traffic, but all through traffic on Custer Road will have to take an alternate route. Regional traffic should use Stonebridge Drive to the east or Preston Road to the west. Local traffic will have to follow the posted detour signs around the closures. The specific road closures and detours on each day are described below and are summarized on the attached map:
