MA 10-07-CS140703LANE CLOSURE ADVISORY – MacARTHUR BLVD AT BELT LINE ROAD (COPPELL)
Please be advised that the City of Coppell will be reconstructing the
intersection of MacArthur Blvd. and Belt Line Road in their city.
However, this major intersection is very close to the north city limits
of Irving so it is expected that there with be traffic impact extending
into the City of Irving and many Irving residents, businesses, and
visitors will be affected as well as the thousands of motorists who
travel MacArthur Blvd. and Belt Line Road to and from outside of Irving.
According to the City of Coppell, lane closures will start at
approximately 12:00 noon on Monday, July 14, 2014. The project is
expected to be complete within fifteen (15) working days, although the
contractor has been given a maximum of 30 days to reopen the roadways.
Belt Line Road will be completely closed either side of the MacArthur
Blvd. intersection allowing not through traffic on Belt Line Road.
MacArthur Blvd., however, will maintain one lane of through traffic in
both directions during the course of the construction. The reduction
from three lanes to one lane in each direction will be somewhat
mitigated by there being no stopping for Belt Line Road, however, delays
especially during peak traffic periods can be expected.
Detour information and updates on the project are being maintained by
the City of Coppell on their website at:
