HOWARD COUNTY, Texas — On Tuesday, Jan. 25, the Texas Department of Transportation will begin construction on FM 818 between the frontage road of Interstate 20 and reference marker 302.
Crews will remove the existing surface and replace it with new asphalt to create a smoother transition for those crossing the railroad tracks on FM 818. The farm-to-market road, between the I-20 frontage road and reference marker 302, will remain closed for the duration of this project.
The southbound frontage road, between reference markers 164 and 166, has been restricted to one-way eastbound traffic.
Signage has been placed in the area to notify the public of the upcoming construction. Motorists are encouraged to use an alternate route and avoid the work zone, if possible.
For updates on construction projects and/or lane closures, follow the Department of Transportation on Facebook at TxDOTABL and Twitter at TxDOTAbilene. For real-time roadway conditions, visit DriveTexas.org.
