TxDOT is closing the freeway to begin work on the demolition of the West Dallas Bridge over I-45. The underside of the bridge was hit by an over height truck traveling on I-45 on September 2. As a result of the damage, the bridge will have to be torn down and completely rebuilt.

The work will continue over several weekends, including the weekend of November 18, December 2, and December 9. The West Dallas bridge will remain closed until work is complete. Take Allen Parkway as an alternate route.
During the weekend closures, take US-59 as an alternate to I-45.
