staff reports
The Texas Department of Transportation expects that area drivers will be able to begin taking advantage of the newly-constructed Sand Creek Bridge starting next month. Weather permitting, the department will begin shifted traffic on FM 1417 in Grayson County to the roadway starting Tuesday.
#The traffic switch will begin just south of Washington Street and extend slightly north of State Highway 56, officials said, a release from the department said. The switch is necessary for the contractor, Zachry Construction Corporation, to remove a portion of the old roadway and the old bridge over Sand Creek.
The department also had advise for area drivers making their way through construction zones.
