Westlake, Texas — Drivers in Tarrant County are being warned to prepare for temporary road closures this week as filming for Taylor Sheridan’s latest project, ‘Frisco King,’ returns to North Texas.
Officials in Westlake announced that Paramount Pictures received permission to conduct filming activities in the area, continuing a growing production presence tied to Sheridan’s projects across the region.
Major Service Road Closure Scheduled
According to the Town of Westlake, the temporary closure will take place on Tuesday, May 26, between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m.
The affected area includes the Service Road of Highway 170 from Parish Lane to Schwab Way. Authorities also confirmed that the intersection of Highway 114 and Schwab Way will be closed during filming operations.
Despite the shutdowns, officials clarified that the main lanes of the highway will remain open and should continue operating normally throughout the day.
The closures are expected to impact local traffic flow and may cause delays for commuters traveling through the area.
Officials Urge Drivers to Avoid Area
Local officials are encouraging residents and drivers to plan ahead and use alternate routes if possible during filming hours.
“Please avoid the area if possible,” the Town of Westlake said. “We apologize for any inconvenience the closure may cause.”
Traffic control measures are expected to be in place while crews work on the production, with city officials coordinating alongside film personnel to manage road safety.
Residents living nearby may also notice an increased presence of production vehicles, equipment and crew members throughout the day.
Taylor Sheridan Productions Continue Expanding in North Texas
Taylor Sheridan, known for creating several high-profile television and film projects connected to Texas, has increasingly used North Texas locations for filming in recent years.
The latest production activity comes shortly after ‘Frisco King’ filming shut down streets in downtown Fort Worth last week, drawing attention from residents and fans curious about the ongoing project.
While few details about the production have been officially released, the repeated filming activity across Tarrant County has generated significant local interest.
Sheridan’s projects often bring temporary traffic disruptions but also contribute economic activity to filming locations through local spending, hotel stays and production-related jobs.
Previous Closures Drew Attention From Residents
Last week’s filming in downtown Fort Worth caused temporary road closures and traffic changes as production crews transformed portions of the city for scenes connected to the project.
Now, with filming shifting to Westlake, officials are hoping to minimize disruptions while allowing the production to continue safely.
The Town of Westlake has not announced whether additional filming dates or closures are expected beyond Tuesday’s scheduled operation.
Drivers traveling near Highway 170 or Highway 114 during the closure window are encouraged to leave extra travel time and monitor local traffic updates throughout the day.
Community Interest Grows Around ‘Frisco King’
As more filming locations emerge across North Texas, curiosity surrounding ‘Frisco King’ continues to grow among residents and fans of Sheridan’s work.
Although production crews frequently operate under tight schedules and limited public disclosure, the project has already attracted attention due to its repeated impact on local traffic and public spaces.
For now, city officials are focused on ensuring safe traffic management while accommodating the ongoing production activities.
