DALLAS — If you're hitting the road for Thanksgiving travel this weekend, or heading to the airport, beware: There could be major delays along the Dallas North Tollway near downtown Dallas.
The North Texas Tollway Authority is closing two lanes in each direction between downtown and University Boulevard from 10 p.m. Friday through 5 a.m. Monday.
One lane will remain open in each direction, but heavy delays are expected, officials said.
The continuous closure is for bridge maintenance work. The Tollway Authority will place signs in the area to alert drivers of the lane closures.
The closures will impact traffic heading north out of downtown, and traffic heading south on the Tollway once they get to University Boulevard. So if you're making plans to take the Tollway to Dallas Love Field (exiting at Mockingbird Lane), then give yourself some extra time.
Here's a map of the closure area:
These closures are similar to the lane closures the Tollway had earlier this month.
