Construction is expected to last about 12 months.

Description:	Improvements are needed because the bridge has met capacity; traffic often stalls across the bridge onto Loy Lake Road. The following improvements will relieve congestion and improve safety: Widening the existing roadway from two lanes to four through lanes with left-turn lanes Aesthetic improvements to include colored/textured concrete in the island medians and painting of the bridge The City of Sherman will continue the construction south of the intersection to Sarah Swamy Drive, which will become a four-lane divided section of roadway. Once construction is complete, drivers can expect a right turn lane from Sarah Swamy Drive onto Loy Lake Road. A traffic light is also being installed at the intersection.
