DNT Closures

We had previously announced that the NTTA had planned to close the Dallas North Tollway each weekend in June, but now they have changed that plan.  This weekend the frontage roads will be closed and the main lanes will remain open.  The DNT main lanes will need to be closed again on several future weekends and we will announce each closure when NTTA finalizes those dates.  The closure announcement for this weekend is as follows:
 
The northbound and southbound Dallas Parkway frontage roads will be closed between Gaylord Parkway and SH 121 this weekend.  The frontage roads will close at 10:00 p.m. Friday night, June 17, and remain closed throughout the weekend, June 18-19.  They will reopen at 5:00 a.m. Monday morning, June 20.  NTTA has provided the attached map of this closure and the detour routes.
 
Northbound Dallas Parkway will be closed between the southwest-bound SH 121 frontage road and the northbound DNT exit ramp to Gaylord Parkway.  (The exit ramp to Gaylord Parkway will not be closed.)  During this closure, northbound traffic on Dallas Parkway will be diverted onto the northeast-bound SH 121 frontage road to Parkwood Boulevard to continue their journey north.  Detour signs will be posted.
 
Southbound Dallas Parkway will be closed between Gaylord Parkway and the northeast-bound SH 121 frontage road.  During this closure, all southbound traffic will be directed to turn left onto Gaylord Parkway and use Parkwood Boulevard as a detour.  Southbound traffic on the Dallas North Tollway will not be able to exit to SH 121 and should plan to use Legacy Drive or Parkwood Boulevard as an alternative route.  Residents of Stonebriar Creek Estates will need to use their entrance on Legacy Drive.  Customers of David McDavid Honda should approach the dealership using the southwest-bound SH 121 frontage road.
 
These road closures are part of NTTA's interchange construction project.  Motorists are urged to use caution in the construction zone and to choose an alternate route in advance.
