| Work Detail |
The Texas Department of Transportation plans to perform road closures along the Marsha Sharp Freeway Wednesday and Thursday. TxDOT’s Phase 5B project will limit traffic on Marsha Sharp for bridge beams to be placed for the new Upland Avenue overpass. The project contractor is Webber, LLC. Beginning at 10 a.m. Wednesday, Upland Avenue at U.S. 62/82 will close to traffic. Northbound Upland traffic will be detoured around the work area to the eastbound Marsha Sharp Freeway frontage road, and southbound Upland drivers will be detoured to 82nd Street. The roadway will reopen at 4:30 p.m. for the afternoon rush hour and then reclose at 6:30 p.m. to continue the work overnight. Upland will reopen at 6 a.m. At 9 p.m. Thursday, Upland will close again overnight to continue the bridge beam hanging operation. Traffic will be detoured around the area, with the roadway reopening to traffic by 6 a.m. Friday. The left-turn lanes on east- and westbound Marsha Sharp Freeway, at the intersection, will be closed and used as a staging area both days. Drivers are encouraged to pay attention to signs and traffic signals during the bridge construction to ensure their safety and the safety of the workers. The traffic closures and work will take place weather permitting. |
