We're still setting the work zone on US 281

The US 281 expansion has thus far meant restriping travel lanes and clearing the right-of-way. In coming days temporary concrete barriers will go up to allow crews to safely clear brush and other items separate from active traffic.
This requires continued overnight closures between 9 p.m. and 5 a.m. We do this at night to minimize traffic impact on drivers and businesses.
These specific locations will be impacted next week:
  • August 14 at 9 p.m. until August 15 at 5 a.m. Single right lane closure of southbound US 281 from Encino Rio to Redland Road.
  • August 15 at 9 p.m. until August 16 at 5 a.m. Single right lane closure of southbound US 281 from Redland Road to Agora Palms Drive.
  • August 16 at 9 p.m. until August 17 at 5 a.m. Single right lane closure of southbound US 281 from the Loop 1604/Sonterra Road exit ramp to Sonterra Road entrance ramp – please note there will be no impacts to the ramp.
  • August 17 at 9 p.m. until August 18 at 5 a.m. Single left lane closure of southbound US 281 frontage road near Sonterra Road.
Please note that all lane closures are weather permitting and subject to change. To get the most up-to-date information please follow us on Twitter or sign up for email alerts.
