Five streets will remain closed in central Arlington on Sunday. Make sure to map your route ahead of time.

The UPRR advises the rail crossing closures at Cooper St., N. Center St., Mesquite St., Collins St., and Stadium Dr. East will continue on Sunday, January 20. Bowen Road and Davis Drive are now open with the potential for temporary closures due to railroad equipment relocation. Drivers should make plans for an alternate route and expect delays.

Great Southwest Parkway will close on Monday.
