WORK ON OVERPASS PROJECT IN GRIMES COUNTY

  

Beginning Tuesday, a Texas Department of Transportation contractor will begin a traffic switch for the next phase of the State Highway 6/FM 2 overpass project in Grimes County.

The switch will close the crossover in the intersection and only right turns to or from FM 2 will be possible.

A detour route will have signs for diverted FM 2 traffic to use Highway 6 crossovers north and south of FM 2.

This traffic switch will also reduce Highway 6 through the project to one lane in each direction, separated by concrete barrier.

This phase of work is to replace the southbound Highway 6 Beason Creek bridge and is expected to last approximately 8 months.

The work is part of the $18.5M project awarded to Larry Young Paving for the construction of an overpass at the intersection of SH 6 and FM 2, as well as replace the Highway 6 bridges over Beason Creek.
