Grayson County, Texas -- The Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) officials have announced an upcoming ramp closure on the southbound mainlanes of US 75. Southbound Exit 67 to Spur 503, is scheduled to be closed beginning at 9 p.m. on Dec. 11, until 5:00 a.m. on Dec. 12, to facilitate the installation of high mast lighting.

Southbound traffic will need to take Exit 65 onto the southbound Sam Rayburn Expressway. Motorists should continue south along the frontage road, turn left to go east on FM 691, then turn left to go north on the US 75 frontage road to access Spur 503.

During this period, TxDOT urges drivers to exercise caution. 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. TxDOT also asks drivers to remain alert to road crews while navigating through the construction zone.
