Lane closures on Sam Rayburn Tollway

nttaThe following closures are scheduled to take place on the Sam Rayburn Tollway (SRT) and the SRT frontage road (State Highway 121): 

  • Northeast-bound SRT entrance ramp from Standridge Drive will be closed continuously from 9 a.m. Wednesday, Jan. 8, through Jan. 15.
  • Northeast-bound SRT exit ramp to Josey Lane/Main Street is closed continuously through Jan. 15.
  • Two northeast-bound left lanes on SH 121 from Standridge Drive to west of Josey Lane are closed continuously through Jan. 15.

The closures are part of the NTTA Maintenance Department’s ongoing pavement repair project on the SRT frontage road (SH 121) where old pavement is being removed and replaced.

Weather permitting, the entire project will end sometime in January 2014. Additional lane/ramp closures will be announced, as needed. Message boards will be placed along the roadway to alert motorists of the closures. All closures are subject to weather conditions and will be postponed, if necessary.
