UPDATE: Critical road closures are set to disrupt traffic in Dallas County this Sunday as large air conditioning units are delivered via helicopter to Ventana by Buckner, a senior living community. Authorities confirm that the closures will take place from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m., impacting several key routes in the area.
Motorists should prepare for significant delays as a small section of the Highway 75 frontage road, along with one exit ramp and one on-ramp, will be temporarily closed. This precaution is taken to ensure the safety of drivers while the heavy equipment is transported to the rooftop of the facility, located at the southwest corner of U.S. Highway 75 and Northwest Highway.
Both southbound and northbound lanes at the nearest exit ramps to Ventana by Buckner will experience intermittent closures. Residents and commuters are advised to plan alternative routes during this timeframe.
Traffic alerts have already been issued in the area to inform drivers of the impending disruptions. Local officials emphasize the importance of safety during this operation and are coordinating closely with the Texas Department of Transportation to minimize the impact on traffic flow.
This operation is crucial for the ongoing improvements at Ventana by Buckner, which serves a vital role in the community by providing quality living options for seniors. The timely delivery of these air conditioning units is essential for ensuring a comfortable environment for residents.
Stay tuned for updates as the situation evolves, and monitor local traffic reports for real-time information.
