Beginning April 1, all lanes of southbound US 75 in Anna, Texas will be closed nightly between West Panther Parkway and FM 455 (White Street) from 9 p.m. to 5 a.m. through April 3. This complete mainlane shutdown, rather than a partial closure, will force all southbound traffic onto the frontage road system, leading to slower speeds, merging traffic, and potential backups, especially with inclement weather expected in the region.

Why it matters

This stretch of US 75 sits in one of the fastest-growing areas of North Texas, with major commercial and residential development around the US 75 and FM 455 corridor. The rapid growth is putting increasing pressure on the highway and surrounding road network, leading to more aggressive construction projects to widen highways, improve frontage roads, and upgrade intersections to handle higher traffic volumes.

The details

During the closure window, all southbound traffic will be diverted onto the frontage road system, which means slower speeds through signalized intersections, merging traffic from multiple entrance ramps, and potential backups, especially with truck traffic overnight. The timing of this closure also lines up with a more active weather pattern in North Texas, with a cold front expected to bring strong storms, gusty winds, and heavy rain, which could further slow traffic on the lower-speed frontage roads.

• The closures run from Wednesday, April 1 through Friday morning, April 3, from 9 p.m. to 5 a.m. each night.
