The closure will last from 7 p.m. May 12 until 11 p.m. May 13, with a detour route in place.

Northbound FM 1417 traffic will turn right onto the eastbound US 82 frontage road. Those wishing to continue northbound on FM 1417 will turn left onto the FM 131 / Travis Street Bridge, and then left onto the westbound US 82 frontage road to return to FM 1417. Signs marking this detour will be in place along the roadway, officials said.

This closure allows crews to complete the tie-in of the new FM 1417 pavement to the existing eastbound US 82 frontage road, as part of the widening and reconstruction of FM 1417.

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