Ahead of Schedule
Construction workers could complete the U.S. 59 South Near Term Project ahead of time. Over the next few weeks drivers will notice several changes in the layout. According to TxDOT, Zachry Construction Corporation plans to open up several parts of the newly constructed areas over the next few weeks.
Whitehouse/Daniel McCall Drive Bridge:
Stripe the main bridge on Thursday, February 12 and open it on Friday the 13th.
U-turn bridges will open in a couple of weeks.
Frontage Roads/US 59:
Open the northbound and southbound frontage roads at the end of next week.
Begin construction on the U.S. 59 mainlanes.
Close the U-turn under the southbound direct connector.
Tulane Drive and Bridge:
Re-open Tulane Drive (south side) to two-way traffic within the next week.
Begin construction on the south end of the bridge within a couple of weeks.
This will necessitate a traffic switch on Loop 287.
