Starting Monday, Aug. 15, Dallas Area Rapid Transit (DART) Silver Line construction will take place on Hillcrest Road at the intersections of Wester Way and McCallum Blvd. in Dallas.
As part of the work, crews will demolish median sections and install asphalt detours for utility relocation. Construction work and utility relocations will continue through Nov. 18.
The demolition of the medians at these two intersections will continue for approximately two weeks. Traffic will be maintained in the outside lanes during the median reconstruction. Starting on Aug. 29, a traffic switch will occur, and one southbound lane and one northbound lane will be in the current southbound traffic lanes. The northbound lanes of Hillcrest Road between McKamy Blvd. and McCallum Blvd. will be closed for utility relocations.
Revenue service on the 26-mile Silver Line project is expected to start in 2024.
The line traverse seven cities between DFW Airport, Grapevine, Coppell, Dallas, Carrollton, Addison, Richardson, and Plano and include 10 new stations. The Silver Line will provide passenger rail connections and service in the northern part of the DART service area.
It will connect with the Trinity Metro TEXRail commuter rail line at the DFW North and DFW Terminal B stations, DART’s Orange Line at DFW Airport, DART’s Green Line and DART’s Red and Orange Lines at CityLine/Bush Station.
