Northbound Dallas Parkway will be closed to through traffic at Stonebrook Pkwy.   The only traffic allowed north of Stonebrook Pkwy will be motorists headed for the northbound entrance ramp onto the Dallas North Tollway.  Any northbound traffic that does not enter the Dallas North Tollway will be forced to make a U-turn at the railroad tracks and head back to Stonebrook Pkwy.  (Residents of the Sterling Ranch neighborhood can use this U-turn route to access Stallion Ln.)  Drivers who normally use northbound Dallas Pkwy will be directed to take Stonebrook Pkwy, Legacy Dr and Cotton Gin Rd as an alternate route around the road closure, as shown in the map.  Detour signs will be posted.

Southbound Dallas Pkwy will be closed to through traffic at Cotton Gin Rd.  The only traffic allowed south of Cotton Gin Rd will be motorists headed for the southbound entrance ramp onto the Dallas North Tollway or for Genesis Ct.  Any southbound traffic that does not enter the Dallas North Tollway will be forced to make a U-turn at the railroad tracks and head back to Cotton Gin Rd.  (Employees and customers of the Stewart Creek Office Center and IBB Design will use this U-turn route to access Genesis Ct.)  Drivers who normally use southbound Dallas Pkwy will be directed to take Cotton Gin Rd, Legacy Dr and Stonebrook Pkwy as an alternative route around the road closure, as shown in the map.  Detour signs will be posted.
