The repairs will take place between Summit Creek Drive and Williams Way Boulevard, and are scheduled for nightly partial closures from Thursday, July 31, to Monday, August 4, from 9 p.m. to 5 a.m.

The closure may end earlier if the work finishes sooner. The TxDOT has advised motorists to plan their journeys accordingly and allow extra travel time during this period.
