Parts of I-30 in Arlington to be closed this weekend

FOX 4's Chip Waggoner talks about the construction work that's scheduled to happen on Interstate 30 in Arlington this weekend.

ARLINGTON, Texas - Part of Interstate 30 will be shut down in Arlington over the weekend for construction.

The work is being done near the intersection of I-30 and Hwy. 360, which used to be a turnpike interchange when there was a toll road through the area.

FOX 4 Traffic reporter Chip Waggoner said the project to convert it into what it is now is about 95% complete. But there is still some fine-tuning to be done.

So, beginning at 8 p.m. on Friday, only one lane of westbound I-30 will be open between Ballpark Way and Baird Farm Road.

The lanes will remain closed through the weekend until 5 a.m. on Monday.

Weather could affect the schedule, but FOX 4 Weather Meteorologist Evan Andrews said he doesn’t expect that to happen.
