PM Drive, Weekend Ahead: Eastbound I-30 Shuts Down Entirely in Western Tarrant County Friday Night — I-20 to Chapel Creek, Until Monday 6 A.M.
The west side gets the bigger closure this weekend. Crews will close all eastbound lanes of Interstate 30 between Interstate 20 and Chapel Creek Boulevard starting at 7 p.m. Friday, November 13, lasting until 6 a.m. Monday, November 16, weather permitting — with a signed detour, and officials advising drivers to use alternate routes entirely.
FORT WORTH — Wednesday's PM drive is clear of it, but Friday night is not. Construction will force a major closure on eastbound Interstate 30 in western Tarrant County this weekend: all eastbound lanes between Interstate 20 and Chapel Creek Boulevard close starting at 7 p.m. Friday, November 13, and stay closed until 6 a.m. Monday, November 16, weather permitting, officials said.
Drivers who stay on the corridor will be directed through a signed detour — but the official advice is stronger than usual: use alternate routes entirely. An all-lanes closure on the Metroplex's east–west spine, on a weekend, is exactly the setup that turns a detour into a queue.
Crews also warn drivers to remain alert for changing traffic patterns as construction progresses in the area — the pattern you drove Friday may not be the pattern you drive Monday morning when the lanes reopen.
Project information, current road closures and email alerts on the construction activity are posted at Keep20-30Moving. Paired with the Royse City one-lane pattern on the east side (this station's SQ-20261111-046), I-30 is a plan-ahead interstate at both ends of the Metroplex this weekend.
