The Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) is scheduled to close Loop 193, at US 62/82 in Wolfforth, to traffic on Monday, Oct. 31. The daytime closure will allow contractor Allen Butler to safely pour the deck for the new westbound overpass.
Beginning at approximately 8 a.m., Loop 193 traffic will be detoured around the work area. US 62/82 traffic will not be able to make left-turns at the intersection.
Motorists can expect delays and are encouraged to find an alternate route around the construction zone. The roadway is expected to reopen to traffic Monday afternoon.
Work to pour the concrete bridge deck on the eastbound bridge is scheduled to take place in a couple of weeks and will also require the intersection to be closed to Loop 193 traffic.
Work will take place weather permitting and is part of a $14.5 million project to rebuild the interchange by constructing a new bridge at Loop 193, building entrance and exit ramps and rehabilitating a segment of the frontage roads. The project is expected to be completed in spring 2017.
