These closures are needed to safely set concrete beams and deck panels across US 75 for the new bridge at Jim Jones Road. The southbound entrance ramp will be closed to
install drainage structures. Message boards are placed ahead of the work location to alert drivers.
All closures are subject to being delayed or altered due to weather conditions, mechanical issues or material supply issues.
During this period, TxDOT urges drivers to exercise caution. Motorists who travel frequently in this area are asked to pay special attention to all barricades, traffic controls, and signs, and to reduce their speed as they approach and travel through work zones. Motorists should also avoid distractions such as cell phones, eating, drinking, or car audio or navigation systems. TxDOT also asks drivers to remain alert to road crews while navigating through the construction zone.
