Grayson County, Texas -- Texas Department of Transportation officials today announced that the southbound US 75 exit to Panther Parkway (CR 375) will be closed on July 29, from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.

This closure is needed to safely perform full depth pavement repair work on the frontage road where there is a curve. Closing the exit ramp will reduce driver confusion that may be caused due to multiple merge points located at the work area. Crews will be performing pavement repair on the frontage road. Message boards will be placed north of the US 75 exit ramp to FM 121 to alert drivers.

Drivers can use the next exit ramp to FM 121 just north of this exit and continue on the frontage road.

Motorists who travel frequently in this area are asked to pay special attention to all barricades, traffic controls and signs, and to reduce their speed as they approach and travel through work zones. They should also avoid distractions such as cell phones, eating, drinking, or car audio or navigation systems.
