NORTH PARK STREET CLOSURE PLANNED FOR THIS WEEKEND

  

North Park Street near Hohlt Park is now scheduled to be closed for repairs this weekend, that is unless it rains.  TxDOT has confirmed that the contractor plans on making repairs to the bridge over Little Sandy Creek beginning at 8:00 PM this Friday until Monday morning.  A TxDOT spokesperson said that flooding in May of 2016 as well as the flooding with Hurricane Harvey caused washout areas under the bridge that need repair.  During the repairs, the roadway will be completely closed and drivers will need to detour to Blue Bell Road and the Highway 36 loop.  All of this is contingent on the weather, and at this point, there is a 40 percent chance of rain Saturday and Sunday.
