But that's not all. All lanes of east- and westbound Illinois Avenue will also be closed nightly from 9 p.m. to 6 a.m. Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
Texas Department of Transportation is suggesting using Beckley Avenue, Saner Avenue and Zang Boulevard to detour east- and westbound traffic around the Illinois Avenue closure.
Keep in mind that construction and lane closures are subject to change due to weather or other unpredictable circumstances, according to the department.
