FORT WORTH, Texas — Drivers who rely on Interstate 30 through West Fort Worth will need to plan ahead next week, as a series of overnight closures are set to impact traffic in both directions along a busy stretch of the corridor.
According to TxDOT, all lanes of I-30 will be shut down nightly from 9 p.m. to 6 a.m. Monday, April 13 through Friday, April 17, weather permitting. The closures will affect the portion of the highway between I-820 and Spur 580 near Camp Bowie Boulevard, an area that serves as a key connection point for drivers moving between Fort Worth and surrounding communities.
This is not routine maintenance. The closures are tied to ongoing bridge construction along RM 2871, where crews are working to rebuild and upgrade infrastructure that crosses over I-30. That work includes placing beams and reconstructing portions of the bridge, which requires full closures of the highway below to ensure worker safety and allow heavy equipment to operate without traffic interference.
The bridge project is part of a much larger effort to modernize the I-30 corridor in West Fort Worth. Construction began in late 2024 on a multi-year project that will expand I-30 from four lanes to six lanes, improve frontage roads, and rework key interchanges to better handle growing traffic demand in Tarrant County.
During the overnight closures, traffic will be routed off the highway and onto signed detours. For eastbound drivers, that typically means using I-20 and looping back via I-820, while westbound traffic will be pushed south on I-820 and redirected back to I-30 using I-20. Secondary detours may also utilize Spur 580 depending on traffic flow and conditions…
