I20 scheduled for temporary closure

The two main westbound lanes of Interstate 20 at the US 84 overpass between Sweetwater and Roscoe are scheduled for a temporary closure starting Wednesday, November 28.

The closure is expected to last approximately one week to allow crews to demolish and remove the bridge that was damaged after a collision in late September.

Traffic will be detoured to Business US 84 and routed around the overpass, then directed back to westbound Interstate 20. The ¾-mile detour is the same route that was used immediately following when the collision occurred. The Texas Department of Transportation will have signs, cones and message boards will be in place to direct drivers.

The westbound Interstate 20 lanes will reopen after the work is complete. Future closures, however, will be necessary as “work progresses to replace the bridge.
