Texas Tree & Landscape, Ltd., will perform a traffic switch on US 75 at the Lamar and Houston Street Overpasses in Sherman on Thursday, November 5, 2009.  From FM 1417 to SH 56, barrels and signs will be put in place to switch traffic from the left lane to the right lane of northbound US 75. 

The traffic switch operation is anticipated to be complete on Thursday, November 5, 2009.  Traffic will be detoured off of US 75 onto the east frontage road through the Lamar and Houston Street intersections prior to returning to the mainlanes of US 75.  Policemen will be on site directing traffic. 

The detour will last until all concrete barriers have been moved and in place before traffic will resume in the left lane of US 75.   All construction activities and equipment will be regulated so as to cause a minimum of inconvenience to the traveling public.

The traveling public is requested to observe signs and to be aware of lane closures and potential temporary detours.  Caution and reduced speed is imperative when approaching these work zones due to the magnitude of the volume of traffic. 

Please remember that it is against the law to cut across on to unpaved surfaces and that traffic fines double in work zones when workers are present.
