The closure is scheduled from 9 p.m. on Monday, July 28, until 5 a.m. on Tuesday, July 29, weather permitting.

During this time, crews will perform concrete pavement work. Drivers traveling north on Jordan Creek Parkway will be directed by a digital message sign to continue north past the closed ramp until reaching University Avenue. From there, they should turn right and travel to I-35/I-80 (Exit 124).
