For many Benbrook-area drivers, navigating I-30 has become an exercise in patience. Next week will be no exception.
As construction continues on the I-30 and I-20 interchange improvement project, TxDOT has announced several daytime lane closures affecting commuters traveling through west Fort Worth and eastern Parker County.
From June 8-13, both eastbound and westbound I-30 will be reduced to a single lane between Chapel Creek Boulevard and Alemeda Drive from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. each day while crews perform bridge work on RM 2871. Additional one-lane traffic reductions will be in place between Linkcrest Drive and Chapel Creek Boulevard during the same hours to accommodate construction vehicles entering and exiting the work zone.
Drivers should also expect shoulder closures between Linkcrest Drive and FM 1187/FM 3325 through June 12, as crews install safety devices and continue general construction.
Several long-term traffic changes remain in effect. The eastbound I-30 right lane remains closed between Linkcrest Drive and the Spur 580 exit for ramp construction. The eastbound exit to Walsh Ranch Parkway will remain closed until early 2027, with drivers directed to use Exit 420 at FM 1187/FM 3325 and continue along the frontage road to reach Walsh Ranch Parkway.
Other permanent changes introduced over the past year continue to affect traffic patterns. The westbound I-30 exit to Linkcrest Drive and the eastbound entrance ramp from Linkcrest Drive have both been eliminated, requiring motorists to follow alternate routes through Spur 580 and Camp Bowie Boulevard.
Additional ramp reconfigurations near FM 1187/FM 3325 remain under construction as TxDOT works to improve traffic flow throughout the corridor.

If I-30 is part of your daily routine, plan ahead and allow extra travel time. With multiple lane reductions and detours in place, even short trips through the construction zone could take longer than expected.
