Starting Monday, a TxDOT contractor will be setting up nighttime lane closures on Highway 105 West over the Brazos River.

For the next two weeks, beginning Monday night through Thursday night, drivers will encounter lane closures on the highway. Traffic will be managed by a flagger and pilot car operation to guide vehicles through the work zone.
Work is being performed by Lynx Contractors, Inc. for the $33.4 million Highway 105 bridge project. This work is for the lead abatement on the Brazos River bridge ahead of its future demolition.
TxDOT plans for traffic to be shifted onto the new roadbed at the end of February. There will be several months of work after that to complete the tie-ins and demolish the old bridges.
Why can’t the lead be abated after the new bridge opens?
Good question. Probably for the same reason it has taken them over 6 years to build it.
