Detours, orange cones and closures on Airport Freeway
If you drive on or around Texas 183 (Airport Freeway) in Euless, you’ve probably gotten used to all of the orange cones and detours.
The demolition and reconstruction of the Main Street bridge is one of the key components of the Midtown Express project, but there are plenty of other areas to be aware of.
- Traffic on the westbound Texas 183 frontage road near American Boulevard is reduced to one lane for an extended period of time.
- 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 5 p.m. Thursday.
- Two rights lanes are closed on northbound Ector Drive, but traffic will be maintained with one lane open in each direction.
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.
