Keep a watchful eye on ongoing construction on 183

While the demolition and reconstruction of the Main Street bridge has attracted most of the attention in the Midtown Express project, there are plenty of other areas to keep an eye on.

  • Traffic on the westbound Texas 183 frontage road near American Boulevard is reduced to one lane for an extended period of time.
  • Huffman Road is closed at the eastbound 183 frontage road.
  • The frontage road U-turn at Industrial Boulevard from westbound 183 to eastbound 183 is closed.
  • Himes Street at the westbound 183 frontage road is closed through July 25.

The Midtown Express project along 183, from Euless to Interstate 35E in Dallas, includes rebuilding main lanes, improving ramps and access roads, and adding one toll lane in each direction. The project is an extension of the $2.5 billion North Tarrant Express in neighboring Bedford and Hurst.

Catfish to be stocked in Chisholm Park on Friday

It’s never too hot to fish, right?

Grab a pole and head over to Chisholm Park pond, 2200 Norwood Drive in Hurst.

Texas Parks and Wildlife Department workers are scheduled to again stock the pond with channel cat on Friday and they are available to be caught as soon as they are in the water.

Kids under 17 years old can fish for free and adults need a state fishing license. There is a two-pole limit per angler.
