ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — A major highway bridge reopens Monday near traffic-heavy Cowboys Stadium in Arlington.
The opening comes in time for the Dallas Cowboys to host their Thanksgiving matchup with Oakland.
The rebuilt Collins Street bridge over Interstate 30 has been closed for five months as part of a $166 million freeway makeover, causing some detours for drivers heading to Cowboys games.
The Texas Transportation Department says the opening means drivers will no longer face a nearly half-mile circular detour. The agency says the area will remain a work zone as other improvements are made to roadways near the new $1.2 billion stadium.
