Final piece on Main Street should be done by Thanksgiving

Grapevine area holiday shoppers can relax a little: The DFW Connector project plans to have no lane closures during the holidays, and Main Street northbound and southbound lanes should be in their final traffic patterns by Thanksgiving.

Northgate Construction spokeswoman Kristen Schropp also said the 3,700-foot flyover bridge from eastbound Hwy. 114 to southbound Hwy. 121 could be open by the end of the year. That means motorists will be able to travel from Hwy. 114 to Hwy. 121 without stopping at traffic lights.

Holiday no-lane-closure periods are:

• Thanksgiving — noon Nov. 20 to 8 p.m Nov. 26.
• Christmas – noon Dec. 22 to 8 p.m. Dec. 27.
• New Years – noon Dec. 30 to 8 p.m. Jan. 2
