CONSTRUCTION NOTICE: TXDOT FM-549 and FM-550 OVERLAY PROJECT
PROJECT SCOPE:
The TXDOT roadway improvement project includes the addition of 2-foot shoulders on FM-549 and FM-550 and the removal of the existing asphalt pavement and the installation of a new asphalt surface. The FM-549 portion of the project is from SH-205 to the FM-549/FM-550/FM-740 intersection. The FM-550 portion of the project is from SH-205 to the FM-549/FM-550/FM-740 intersection.
The contractor has been extending storm sewer pipes under FM-549 along the project route.
Construction for the addition of shoulders and the removal of the existing asphalt on FM-549, between Horizon Road and the FM-549/FM-550/FM-740 intersection, is scheduled to begin the end of next week (June 21).
After the existing asphalt is removed, the roadway will have a temporary all-weather surface until the new asphalt pavement is installed.
During the construction, the road will be reduced to one lane. Flagmen and pilot cars will be utilized to move traffic through the construction zone.
The roadway will revert to two lanes at the end of the working day and on weekends, when there is no construction being performed.
The contractor’s estimated completion time is 7 weeks (weather dependent).
Expect traffic delays during this construction.
