Dan Williams
Company began construction this week of new sidewalks along both sides of FM 3009 between I-35 and FM 78 in Schertz. So far, folks may be noticing the pink and orange marker stakes along the road to mark the location of the
planned sidewalks.
The $3.2
million project will take about a year to complete. Most of that came from
Category 7 mobility funds managed by the Alamo Area Metropolitan Planning
Organization, which selected the project based on strong support from the city
of Schertz. A little more than $400,000 comes from Category 1 funds managed by
the local TxDOT district.
Crews are
limited to working between the hours of 9 a.m. and 4 p.m. on weekdays to
minimize the impact to livelihood through the area. These hours should keep
crews out of the rush hour traffic while also avoiding night work that could
prove disruptive through the residential areas along this 3.1-mile stretch of
FM 3009. Work will be happening on both sides of the road simultaneously.
Work will
begin near I-35 on the southbound side of the road and near FM 78 on the
northbound side. Drivers in the area can expect the right lane in each
direction to close as needed. Dan Williams Company is committed to keeping one
lane open in each direction.
