DALLAS COUNTY & COLLIN COUNTY -- Julie Fisk, NewsRadio 1080 KRLD
The Dallas Stars are playing at the American Airlines Center on Saturday. Also, the Mavs are playing the Washington Wizards at the American Airlines Center on Tuesday, so you can expect heavy traffic in that area all around game time.
Various lanes will be closed on Woodall Rogers east & westbound from 9:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m. nightly for work on the deck park. The Woodall Rogers westbound exit ramp to St. Paul will also be closed daily, and the ramp from Maple Routh to westbound Woodall Rogers will be closed at night.
The right lane of the 75SB Frontage Road around Galatyn Parkway will be closed until March 12 for restriping.
Some lanes of 75 north and southbound between El Dorado Parkway and White Avenue will be closed Friday and Saturday nights, from 9:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m. the following day.

TARRANT COUNTY & DENTON COUNTY -- Teresa Frosini, CBS 11 News
The rainy weather will cause some issues with construction on area roadways this weekend, which means we won't have full road closures around DFW Airport. Here's a look ahead at the construction closures.
DFW Connector: This weekend there will be some traffic switches on SH 114. Here are the closures associated with those changes. Beginning at 8:00 p.m. on March 9 until 6:00 a.m. March 12, the right lane on westbound SH 114 as well as the exit ramp to FM 1709 will be closed. Use Kimball as an alternate exit. Also, the westbound frontage road of SH 114 will switch to new pavement at SH 26.
North Tarrant Expressway: Beginning on Tuesday March 13 through the end of April, expect delays traveling on the Denton Highway in Haltom City. Each day from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. alternating lanes of both northbound and southbound will be closed.
