behalf of those in attendance and expressed concerns
about the construction process so far in an effort to
improve the project and minimize its impact on the city.
City Council asked TxDOT to improve communications
about the project schedule and status, lane marking
placement for easier lane navigation, driveway
identification and signage, construction site maintenance
and debris cleaning, opportunities in work scheduling to
excel construction activity, usage of safety tools along the
corridor, and the transition from Phase 1 to Phase 2 to

minimize disruption to the community.
Tran's project update highlighted that the construction will
shift from Phase 1 to Phase 2 in the coming weeks. During
Phase 2 construction, crews will work in the middle of SH26
while motorists drive on the outside lanes including on the
new pavement. Because of the difference in height
between the existing roadway and the new pavement, the
contractor will need a transition period to modify the
highway to allow for proper traffic flow. This transition
work has the potential to significantly impact traffic
flow across the corridor and require several road
closures and detours as crews get the road ready for
motorists to travel on the newly paved travel lanes.
While TxDOT has not yet presented an official plan with
time tables, this work will impact traffic flow. Indications
are that this transition could begin in early February. City
staff will publish more and specific information as soon as it
becomes available.
