Nighttime US 75 closures planned in Richardson during DART bridge arch installation

Nighttime closures are planned on and around US 75 from July 23-26 while an arch is installed on the Silver Line bridge over the highway. Crews will install a 400-foot decorative steel arch on the north side of the highway. An arch on the south side was installed earlier this summer as part of Dallas Area Rapid Transit’s Silver Line bridge.

The details: The installation will take place overnight from July 23-26, so road closures will only be in effect at night. Silver Line rail service between Plano’s Shiloh Road Station and UTD Station will also be suspended overnight from July 24-26 as the trains cannot operate beneath the active construction zone.

The big picture: Once complete, the arches will serve as a “visual gateway” into Richardson, mobility program manager Daniel Herrig said at a council meeting.
