PARIS – Texas Department of Transportation officials today announced a weekend closure of the north-and south-bound US 75 frontage roads at their intersection with the east- and west-bound US 82 frontage roads in Sherman, Texas, beginning at 2 a.m. on Saturday, August 19.

During this closure, all thru-traffic will cease. Travelers driving north or south on the US 75 frontage roads, or east or west on US 82 frontage roads, will be required to RIGHT TURN ONLY and follow a signed, designated detour.

This operation will allow crews to place temporary pavement to transition from the existing pavement to reconstructed US 75 and US 82 frontage roads. The intersections will be operational and re-opened for thru traffic prior to 6 a.m. on Monday, August 21.

The following detour routes will be signed and in place during this closure:

Officials asked drivers to be aware of road crews on the highway, to expect delays, and plan their commutes in advance for the duration of this closure. This construction and any temporary lane closures it creates are subject to change due to weather or other unforeseen circumstances.

Motorists who travel frequently in this area are asked to pay special attention to all barricades, traffic controls and signs, and to reduce their speed as they approach and travel through work zones. They should also avoid distractions such as cell phones, eating, drinking or car audio or navigation systems.
