FM 1382 Lane Closures
October 31, 2006
I’ve had a few people ask me about the lane closures on FM 1382, so in the interest of efficiency, I thought I would post some information about it.
The City is widening FM 1382 and other roadways around the area where the new Lifestyle Center is being built. FM 1382, for example, is being expanded from four to six lanes from Hwy 67 to Straus Rd.
We have expedited the project and hope to be out of the retail corridor (Uptown Blvd. to Hwy. 67) by Thanksgiving.
Road construction, and the inevitable delays, can be frustrating. This particular construction is relatively simple, but unfortunately, occurs in a difficult spot and will be a disruption and inconvenience until completed. We are going to consult with TXDOT and the contractor to evaluate these problems and consider where adjustments in the traffic control plan and/or signal timing can ease the pain.
Update: Our Public Works Department is attempting to lessen the traffic congestion. As a result, they have reconfigured how construction is being coordinated. As a result, construction will take longer, but hopefully, it will be more bearable.
