Traffic Alerts Texarkana: Two I-30 Westbound Ramps Close Today

Another big change is in effect today, Monday, February 23, 2026, for the westbound entrance ramps onto I-30 in Texarkana. Unlike the I-30/Kings Hwy Exit ramp changes we reported over the weekend, these shouldn't make you late for an appointment, though they're worth noting to avoid any confusion.

#1. I-30 WB Near Richmond Road Entrance Ramp

This ramp has been open for some time, so it might be a bit of a shock when you realize it's not now. As the ongoing I-30 widening continues, this exit is closed as of today, Monday, February 23.

The only effect it really has on traffic wishing to enter I-30 westbound is that you have to stay on the feeder until the ramp just before the FM 989/Kings Hwy overpass. Just stay in the left lane and watch for traffic exiting the Loop. Speaking of which...

#2. Hwy 369 (59 Loop) Northbound exit to I-30 WB

If you're headed North on the 59 Loop as we often refer to it, or I-369, and you want to exit to Westbound I-30, you can't. That ramp is shutting down today as well. All traffic will be exited to the feeder before University Blvd and can re-enter I-30 westbound just before Kings Hwy.

TxDOT reminds motorists that the I-30 frontage road system allows continuous travel without stopping at traffic lights. Drivers can travel:

• Eastbound from FM 989/Kings Highway to U.S. Highway 71/State Line Avenue

Officials encourage drivers to stay alert, watch for signage, and plan extra time if needed.
