The Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) is closing all lanes in both directions of Northeast Loop 820 between Beach Street and Rufe Snow Drive in North Richland Hills for overnight construction work. The closures will run from 7:30 p.m. to 5:30 a.m. through Thursday, February 26, and then extend later into the morning on Friday, February 27 and Saturday, February 28, running from 7:30 p.m. until 10 a.m. the next day.
Why it matters
These frequent closures are part of a larger reconstruction and widening project on the Northeast Loop 820 corridor to improve mobility and access in the area. The scale of the work requires overnight closures when crews can safely adjust lanes and move barriers without live traffic beside them.
The details
During the closure windows, drivers will be directed into the TEXpress Lanes at no cost. Even with the free detour, drivers should expect slower speeds and backups approaching the closure points as traffic is funneled into fewer lanes. The extended overnight to morning closures on Friday and Saturday are the ones that tend to surprise drivers, so those with early morning plans should build in extra time and consider alternate routes.
- The closures will run nightly from 7:30 p.m. to 5:30 a.m. through Thursday, February 26.
- On Friday, February 27 and Saturday, February 28, the closures will run from 7:30 p.m. until 10 a.m. the next day.

Advance planning and considering alternate routes are key for navigating these closures.
