The on-again, off-again construction along Forest Park Boulevard is on again – or will be beginning Tuesday April 1.

Between 8 p.m. and 5 a.m. Tuesday April 1 and the morning of Monday April 7, all north- and southbound lanes between westbound Interstate 30 and the eastbound I-30 frontage road will be closed.

Project planners say the closure is needed to shift westbound I-30 traffic to complete the permanent westbound lanes and is associated with the Chisholm Trail Parkway project

Detours are:

·         Westbound I-30 to southbound Forest Park Boulevard: Take the University Drive exit south, then travel east on Rosedale Street to Forest Park Boulevard.

·         Eastbound I-30 to northbound Forest Park Boulevard: Take Rosedale Street, turn north on Forest Park Boulevard, turn east on the eastbound I-30 frontage road, north on Summit Avenue, west on the westbound I-30 frontage road to exit north on Forest Park Boulevard.

·         Continuing north on Forest Park Boulevard: Take the I-30 eastbound frontage road and turn north onto Summit Avenue to the I-30 westbound frontage road, enter I-30 westbound and exit Forest Park Boulevard.

·         Northbound Forest Park Boulevard to westbound I-30: Take the eastbound I-30 frontage road and turn north onto Summit Avenue to the I-30 westbound frontage road.

·         Southbound Forest Park Boulevard to continue south: Take Parkview Drive to westbound I-30, exit south on University Drive, then travel east on Rosedale Street to Forest Park Boulevard.

·         Southbound Forest Park Boulevard to eastbound I-30: Take Parkview Drive to westbound I-30, exit Montgomery Street, turn left on Montgomery, turn left on the eastbound I-30 frontage road and continue to I-30.
