We are thrilled that the extension of the northbound US 281 mainlanes north of Evans Road was completed seamlessly last weekend. However, due to unforeseen circumstances, the southbound US 281 mainlane extension north of Evans Road was not ready to open when we previously announced. The southbound US 281 mainlanes are expected to open in the coming weeks and we will provide updates as the schedule is determined. We appreciate your patience while we work hard to improve everyone’s commute.
We also remind northbound US 281 traffic that the recommended detour to safely head west on Stone Oak Parkway is to continue north on US 281 past Marshall Road, turn around at Oakland Bend, and use the southbound US 281 frontage road. This detour reduces confusion for US 281 mainlane traffic merging onto the frontage road while we finish construction of the Stone Oak/TPC Parkway underpass and intersection, scheduled to open in a couple of months.
Please note that construction is weather permitting and subject to change.
