Interstate 30 westbound ramp closure scheduled to begin January 5, 2026

As construction on the Interstate 30 (I-30) widening project continues, the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) is alerting travelers to a ramp closure along the westbound corridor, where work is currently taking place. Westbound Exit 220B/Richmond Road is scheduled to be closed starting Monday, January 5, 2026, around 9 a.m. The exit will remain closed until work to build the new pavement structure to tie this ramp to the widened main lanes is completed. Work is expected to take several months and is subject to change due to weather or other unforeseen circumstances.

Travelers should use Exit 222/Summerhill Road and travel along the continuous frontage road lanes to reach common destinations such as the hospital, Richmond Road and many businesses between Summerhill Road and University Avenue. Message boards are currently in place to alert travelers to the upcoming change.

TxDOT reminds local commuters that the I-30 frontage road system allows traffic to travel eastbound from Farm to Market Road (FM) 989/Kings Highway to United States (U.S.) Highway 71/State Line Avenue and westbound from U.S. Highway 71/State Line Avenue to FM 989/Kings Highway continuously, without ever stopping at a traffic signal.

TxDOT urges all drivers to slow down, stay alert and obey posted signage when driving through road construction or maintenance areas. TxDOT's "Be Safe. Drive Smart." campaign offers safe driving tips for navigating work zones:

• Slow down. Follow the posted speed limit and never drive faster than what is safe for road conditions. Excessive speed is a leading cause of work zone crashes.
• Pay attention. Avoid distractions, keep your mind on the road and put your phone away.
• Watch out for road crews. Roadside workers want to get home safely, too. Always follow instructions and be mindful of construction area road signs.
• Don't tailgate. Traffic in work zones can slow suddenly. Give yourself room to stop in a hurry. Rear-end collisions are the most common type of work zone crashes.
• Allow extra time. Road construction can slow things down. Count on it and plan for it.
