NTTA closures - Please Review before driving in that area.


NTTA has changed the previously announced nightly closure of the Sam Rayburn Tollway (SRT).  The southwest-bound SRT will no longer be closed at the DNT each night through April 12.  Instead, the northeast-bound SRT and the northeast-bound SH 121 frontage road will be closed at the DNT on various nights over the next three weeks.  The replacement announcement follows:

The northeast-bound Sam Rayburn Tollway will be closed between Legacy Drive and the Dallas North Tollway on several nights over the next three weeks starting tonight, April 4.  This segment of SRT will be closed each night on April 4-6, April 11-13, and April 18-20.  The highway will close at 9:00 p.m. each night and is expected to reopen by 5:00 a.m. the following morning.  During these highway closures, all traffic on the southwest-bound Sam Rayburn Tollway will be diverted onto the SH 121 frontage road and will be able to re-enter the highway east of Parkwood Boulevard on those nights that the frontage road is open.  On those nights that the frontage road is closed (see below), all traffic on the northeast-bound Sam Rayburn Tollway will be diverted onto Legacy Drive and must use Headquarters Drive to continue eastward before being be able to re-enter the highway east of Parkwood Boulevard.  Detour signs will be posted. 

The northeast-bound SH 121 frontage road will be closed between Legacy Drive and Dallas Parkway on several nights over the next two weeks starting Tuesday night, April 5.  This segment of the frontage road will be closed each night on April 5-6 and April 11-13.  The frontage road will close at 9:00 p.m. each night and is expected to reopen by 5:00 a.m. the following morning.  During this closure, detour signs will be posted that divert traffic onto Legacy Drive where motorists can use Headquarters Drive to continue eastward or stay on Legacy Drive to go south on Dallas Parkway or the Dallas North Tollway.

These road closures are part of NTTA’s interchange construction project.  Motorists are urged to use caution in the construction zone and to seek an alternate route in advance.
