DENTON COUNTY, Texas — Drivers in Denton County should anticipate a change in their typical driving routes, as a portion of U.S. 380 will be closed every night for about eight days.
Beginning Friday, Sept. 6 from 7 p.m. to 6 a.m. U.S. 380 from FM 1385 to east of Legacy Drive will be under repair, according to The Texas Department of Transportation. These nightly closures will continue through Sept. 14.
The closure is part of a major traffic switch to construct new intersections, place new traffic barriers, and restripe the main lanes of travel.
The project will widen 380 to three lanes on both sides and also elevate the highway over five different intersections so drivers can avoid stoplights. Frontage roads will have improved intersections and turn lanes to help separate and move traffic, too.
The project spans a 10-mile stretch of the highway from U.S. 377 to the Collin County line at County Road 26.
Drivers are encouraged to take alternative routes.
The project is scheduled to be completed in spring 2026.
