Highway 85, Highway 285, State Road 123, and State Road 293 are scheduled to close between 9 a.m. and noon, according to the 96th Test Wing.

The roads are not expected to be closed for more than 90 minutes at any one time, though multiple closures may occur during the testing window.

Officials noted that testing schedules often change prior to the scheduled event due to operational or safety requirements.
