According to Texas Department of Transportation, the closures will allow crews to install steel beams and continue the construction of the flyover ramps at the interchange.

Access to businesses will remain open during construction and law enforcement officers will help with traffic flow at intersections. Closures may open early if work is completed and the road is safe for drivers, TxDOT said.
