Construction to close Northeast ramps

HURST — North Tarrant Express construction will close the Norwood Drive “on” ramp to westbound Texas 121/183 and the Precinct Line Road “off” ramp from westbound Texas 121/183.

Both ramps will be closed at 10 p.m. Wednesday and remain closed about a month so that crews can build new ramps in the area. Traffic entering westbound Texas 121/183 from Norwood will have to use a new frontage road to the “on” ramp at Precinct Line Road. Drivers who want to reach Precinct Line Road must use the Norwood Drive exit.

The work is part of a $2.5 billion project scheduled for completion in 2015. It includes reconstruction of frontage lanes and main lanes on Northeast Loop 820 and Airport Freeway, and the addition of managed toll lanes, between Interstate 35W in Fort Worth and Industrial Boulevard in Euless.
