Tollway closures this weekend could complicate Mavs, Stars games
Expect major delays on the south end of the Dallas North Tollway this weekend. The North Texas Tollway Authority will close two lanes in each direction from 10 p.m. Friday to 5 a.m. Monday. Two northbound right lanes will be closed from Wolf Street to Lemmon Avenue. Two southbound right lanes will be closed from Beverly Drive to Maple Avenue.
That means anyone who normally uses the toll road to get to Stars or Mavericks games should either leave way early, or plan an alternate route. And if that alternate route includes Dallas Area Rapid Transit’s Blue or Red lines, expect delays there, too, because that agency is suspending downtown train service to replace rails.
NTTA is replacing concrete on the DNT’s bridges over Lemmon Avenue and Maple Avenue/Knight Street. The agency plans more closures later in the month, but says the work should be complete by December.
