North Texas is preparing for the start of a new decade with loads of entertainment and fireworks Tuesday night. Two of the top celebrations will be taking place in downtown Dallas — Reunion Tower Over the Top Fireworks Show and Dallas NYE Party on the Plaza.
Needless to say, it’s gonna be a big turnout. For those taking mass transit, DART and Coors Light are partnering up to offer free transportation from 6 p.m. until the end of service on Tuesday via DART buses, light rail, Paratransit Services and the Trinity Railway Express (Express (TRE rides from EBJ Union Station to CentrePort/DFW Airport Station only).
On the other hand, if you’re bound and determined to use your own wheels, the City of Dallas has reported the following street closures:
