Travelers eastbound on West Taylor Street can turn left on Little Lane, and then turn right on West Lamberth Road and then proceed to FM 1417.

Travelers on FM 1417 who wish to access West Taylor Street should turn west on West Lamberth Road, then turn left on Little Lane and then proceed to West Taylor Street.

Through traffic on FM 1417 will not be affected by this temporary closure, officials said.

They should also avoid distractions such as cell phones, eating, drinking, or car audio or navigation systems.
