I-30 Downtown Dallas Canyon Shuts Down Again This Weekend for Bridge Demolition

TxDOT will reroute traffic to Woodall Rodgers during an $888 million overhaul scheduled to finish in 2030.

Overview

  • All eastbound and westbound lanes between I-35E and I-45 will close from 10 p.m. Friday, Jan. 30 to 5 a.m. Monday, Feb. 2.
  • Crews will demolish remaining beams from the former Akard Street overpass as part of the corridor rebuild.
  • Detours will route I-30 traffic north to Woodall Rodgers Freeway, affecting connections between downtown and the Cedars.
  • A similar closure earlier this month produced long backups, though the interstate reopened several hours ahead of schedule.
  • Long-term bridge work continues on Akard, Cadiz and Cesar Chavez, with the Cadiz Street bridge not expected to reopen until May 2027.
