Westbound I-20 exit ramp at Bryant Irvin Road closes tonight for two days

A. Lee Graham Slow down westbound Interstate 20 drivers. Tonight the westbound exit ramp to Bryant Irvin Road closes at 10 p.m. until 5 p.m. Wednesday, April 24, a result of Chisholm Trail Parkway construction. Motorists will be directed to take westbound Texas 183 to Bryant Irvin Road. As an alternative, motorists can continue on I-20, exit Winscott Road and make a U-turn to Bryant Irvin. The closure will allow workers to continue construction of the Chisholm Trail Parkway thoroughfare, which promises swift passage between Interstate 30 near downtown and U.S. 67 in Cleburne. Primary construction began in December on the 27.6-mile, $1.6-billion project expected to open in mid-2014.
