Beginning Thursday, the Texas Department of Transportation will start the construction of a new turnaround bridge at Interstate Highway 14 and Farm to Market 2410 in Harker Heights.
Currently, there is an interchange along West Central Texas Expressway that allows eastbound traffic to turnaround and head westbound at Farm to Market 2410/Knights Way.
This project’s goal is to construct a similar turnaround on the east side of Farm to Market 2410, and will allow westbound traffic on East Central Texas Expressway to turnaround at Farm to Market 2410 and head eastbound.
The project is scheduled to be complete early 2022, weather permitting. There will be various lane closures throughout the duration of the project, however, there will largely be minimal impact to the traveling public in the area, according to TxDOT.
The project will cost approximately $3.1 million, and is being undertaken by J.D. Abrams, L.P.
TxDOT encourages all motorists to use caution when approaching work zones, eliminate all distractions while driving, and watch for construction equipment and personnel.
