Tuesday AM Drive: I-30's Rockwall Frontage Roads Run Under Flaggers From 9 to 3, and Exit 68's Overnight Pattern Enters Its Second Night

ROCKWALL — Tuesday's Interstate 30 work in Rockwall County is timed around the commute, not on it, according to the contractor schedule published by East DFW News and read in full by this desk. From 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. today, flagging operations run on the westbound frontage road between FM 2642 and FM 551, where crews are installing low-profile barriers, and on the eastbound frontage road between FM 551 and FM 2642 for barrier installation and continuously reinforced concrete pavement. Alternating lanes on the westbound frontage road from John King Boulevard to State Highway 205 are also affected during the day for drainage installation.

Tonight the overnight pattern enters its second night. The westbound right lane between Erby Campbell and FM 35 closes from 9 p.m. to 5 a.m. while crews pin concrete traffic barriers - a run scheduled nightly through Monday, Nov. 16 - and alternating lanes and Exit 68 on westbound I-30 may close as needed from John King Boulevard to State Highway 205 overnight through Saturday, Nov. 14, for barrier installation and temporary pavement markings. Contractor crews coordinate with emergency medical services, fire departments and police agencies to allow access through closures in an emergency, the schedule says.

Two standing Rockwall items complete the Tuesday picture. The eastbound off-ramp to Horizon Road (Exit 67A) remains closed into early 2027 for the corridor expansion, with Exit 67B signed as the way to Horizon Road. And the whole program - asphalt placement, barrier work and drainage on the $348 million corridor expansion from SH 205 toward the Hunt County line - runs through Nov. 16 on this schedule, with day-to-day changes posted at DriveTexas.org.
