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.
Cedar Street bridge construction
East/west access at Cedar Street and Loop 360 intersection is closed as construction of Cedar Street bridge begins. The Loop 360 mainlanes remain open. The closure is estimated to last approximately four months, weather permitting.
Cedar Street is right in/right out only. U-turn at southbound Loop 360 at Cedar Street is also closed. Drivers will use the non-signalized U-turn at Westlake Drive for eastbound Cedar Street access to northbound Loop 360. Drivers will use the boat ramp access road for northbound Loop 360 access to westbound Cedar Street.
Lane closures
TxDOT asks drivers to be patient. Neighbors and businesses may experience an increase in noise, vibration, dust and lighting during night work. Pay attention to flaggers and traffic control. All closures are weather permitting.
