Drivers in Arlington should be prepared for delays today as a major traffic update has been announced. Due to ongoing roadwork and unexpected lane closures, several key routes across the city are seeing heavy congestion, especially during peak hours.
Key Roads Affected
I-20 Eastbound and Westbound: Expect slow-moving traffic between Matlock Road and Collins Street due to maintenance work.
Highway 360: Lane closures near Pioneer Parkway are causing significant backups.
Cooper Street: Intermittent lane blockages between Park Row and Arkansas Lane due to utility repairs.
Randol Mill Road: Congested near AT&T Stadium due to an event in the area.
Expected Delays
Authorities are reporting delays ranging from 15 to 45 minutes depending on the time of day and the route. Commuters are advised to leave early and plan alternate routes where possible.
Alternate Routes Recommended
To avoid traffic snarls, consider using the following alternatives:
Use FM 157 (South Cooper) instead of Highway 360 when heading north or south.
Division Street can be a good east-west option if I-20 is too congested.
Apps like Google Maps and Waze are being updated in real-time with detours and closures.
Reason for the Disruption
The Arlington Transportation Department confirmed that emergency repairs and routine road upgrades are the main reasons behind today’s traffic issues. A water line break also added unexpected pressure on already busy roads.
What Commuters Should Do
Leave early to account for delays.
Use public transportation where possible to avoid road traffic.
Stay tuned to local news and traffic updates on radio and apps for live updates.
Avoid the downtown and stadium area, especially in the evening.
If you’re travelling in or through Arlington today, it’s best to check traffic updates before heading out. With several lane closures and ongoing maintenance, delays are expected throughout the day. Using alternate routes or public transport can help save time and reduce stress during this traffic-heavy day.
