FM 548 will shut down at I-30 near Royse City for a full weekend starting Friday, Nov. 13.
All northbound and southbound lanes of FM 548 will close at I-30 from 9 p.m. Friday, Nov. 13, through 5 a.m. Monday, Nov. 16, according to a Rockwall County traffic alert. That is a continuous closure, not a nightly one. Drivers will need to follow posted detour routes around the intersection.
Westbound I-30 will also narrow to a single lane between FM 35 and Erby Campbell Boulevard for bridge work. That restriction is nightly, running 9 p.m. to 5 a.m. from Friday, Nov. 13, through Monday, Nov. 16, with lanes reopening each morning.
Both closures are weather permitting. The county alert advises drivers to plan for extra travel time or seek alternate routes.
The work is part of the Texas Department of Transportation's (TxDOT) $348 million I-30 corridor expansion. The project will widen I-30 and add continuous frontage roads from SH 205 to the Hunt County line. TxDOT expects the overall project to finish by early 2028. The effort falls under TxDOT's Texas Clear Lanes initiative to reduce congestion in metropolitan areas.
Jim Barto, identified as Rockwall County public information, submitted an August update on the I-30 project to The Rockwall Times. That update noted overnight FM 548 detours at I-30 were already underway for westbound I-30 bridge work at FM 548.
