The ramp taking drivers from Interstate 20 to U.S. Highway 175 in southeast Dallas County will be closed for about two weeks for construction.

The Texas Department of Transportation says the ramp rehabilitation project will close the ramp from eastbound I-20 to westbound US 175 from Feb. 21 to Mar. 7.

Traffic is sure to build up and motorists are highly encouraged to use alternate routes.

Drivers hoping to go from eastbound I-20 to westbound US 175 can exit Haymarket Road and go north (left) about 3/4 of a mile until it intersects with 175. If traffic is backed up, drivers can do the same thing by exiting St. Augustine and following that until arriving at US 175.
