Westlake Drive/Cedar Street
Loop 360 Projects
This project consists of improvements to the intersections at Westlake Drive and Cedar Street, including removing the traffic signals on the Loop 360 mainlanes and adding an underpass (where the mainlanes go under the cross street) at both locations.
Heads up: Friday, March 21
Closure of east/west access at Westlake Drive/Loop 360 intersection as construction of Westlake Drive bridge begins. The Loop 360 mainlanes remain open. The closure is anticipated to last approximately six months, weather permitting.
- Beginning as early as 7 a.m., rolling closures will affect Loop 360 between Bold Ruler Way and Cedar Street as crews prepare for the Westlake Drive bridge construction.
- Beginning as early as 8 a.m., the Westlake Drive east/west crossover at Loop 360 intersection will close. Westlake Drive will become a right in/right out only. Treat the flashing signal at the intersection as an all-way stop.
- Beginning as early as 9 p.m., drivers traveling westbound on Westlake Drive will U-turn at Cedar Street to access southbound Loop 360. detour map Drivers traveling eastbound on Westlake Drive will U-turn at new signals installed across the Shell Refuel Gas station to access northbound Loop 360. detour map
