The Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) is scheduled to close the Loop 193 intersection at US 62/82, in Wolfforth, to all traffic on Tuesday, Sept. 27. The daytime closures will allow contractor Allen Butler to safely place bridge beams on the new westbound overpass.
Beginning at approximately 9 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 in the afternoon.
Work to place beams on the eastbound bridge is scheduled for Saturday, October 1 and will also require the intersection to be closed to traffic. The $14.5 million project will rebuild the interchange by constructing a new bridge at Loop 193, build entrance and exit ramps and rehabilitate a segment of the frontage roads-which will also become one-way roads. The project is expected to be completed in spring 2017.
Work will take place weather permitting.
