A Reason To Smile! US 281 & Evans To Open Up Early

How about some good news for a change?

As we had previously mentioned, the US 281 Segment 1 Expansion Project (from Loop 1604 to just north of Stone Oak Parkway) saw a traffic switch last weekend at the Evans Road intersection.

That was followed by an ongoing closure of the intersection this week as crews worked on reconstructing it in order to accommodate the coming mainlane expansion.

That intersection closure was scheduled to last through Monday, but our contractor just informed us that they worked hard during this week and they anticipate being done overnight tonight (Friday October 18). 

That means the intersection should be open to traffic by tomorrow (Saturday, October 19) morning!

We appreciate your patience while we worked hard to restore this access earlier than expected. Once the intersections reopens, drivers will be able to once again turn left from US 281 to go north- to westbound or south- to eastbound on Evans Road.

As always, we appreciate your patience. Please note that all construction is weather permitting and subject to change.
