On the evening of Wednesday, August 26, we will open the Redland Road bypass ramp for through-traffic looking to fly over the Redland Road intersection below and as a northbound US 281 entrance ramp.
Drivers will use the left lane of the northbound US 281 frontage road to enter the bypass ramp, but will have the option of staying on the frontage road and traveling over the signalized Redland Road intersection beneath or heading north on the US 281 mainlanes.
At this time, the signalized Redland Road underpass
intersection at
US 281 will also open.
The signals will also allow
drivers to turn left in each direction as well as open both turnarounds.
While we make these changes, we will also have several overnight closures for August 26 beginning at 9 p.m.:
The southbound US 281 frontage road from Encino Rio to Redland Road will be closed.Traffic will detour by taking the south- to northbound turnaround at Encino Rio, taking the north- to southbound turnaround at Evans Road and using the Evans Road entrance ramp to return to US 281 mainlanes.The southbound US 281 frontage road exit ramp to Redland Road will be closed.Traffic will detour by taking the southbound US 281 Donella Drive exit ramp, use the south- to northbound turnaround at Donella Drive and take the Donella Drive entrance ramp.The north- to southbound turnaround at Encino Rio, as well as the west- to southbound Encino Rio left turn lane will be closed.The detour for both will be to take the northbound US 281 frontage road and use the north- to southbound turnaround at Stone Oak Parkway.
