I-30 closes through downtown Dallas from 10 p.m. Saturday to 5 a.m. Monday

All lanes of Interstate 30 through downtown Dallas are scheduled to close in both directions from 10 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 24, until 5 a.m. Monday, Oct. 26, for construction, the Texas Department of Transportation said.

The shutdown covers the stretch between the I-35E interchange and the point where I-30 meets I-45 and U.S. 75. TxDOT is sending traffic around the closure on Woodall Rodgers Freeway and SH 366.

The agency expects heavy delays and is asking drivers who can delay or reroute trips through downtown to do so.

Part of the I-30 Canyon rebuild

The weekend closure is one step in the roughly $888 million I-30 Canyon project, which is widening the freeway and reworking access along the corridor.

Several longer-term restrictions near the freeway stay in place, according to TxDOT:

• Botham Jean Boulevard (Lamar Street) is closed at I-30 with a detour, expected to last into late 2027.
• Griffin Street and Good Latimer Expressway are down to one lane each way at I-30 until early 2028.
• Cesar Chavez Boulevard, Cadiz Street and Akard Street are closed and detoured at the freeway, with reopenings planned at different points in 2028.
