Sherman, Texas -- Texas Department of Transportation officials today announced that various entrance/exit ramps to & from US 75 will be closed at the following locations, dates and times

·         US 75 southbound entrance from Haning Street to be closed each day for few hours on Jan. 14 and Jan. 15 between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m.

·         US 75 northbound exit to Haning Street (Exit 53) to be closed each day for few hours from Jan. 12 to Jan. 14 between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m.

·         US 75 southbound exit to Blythe Road to be closed each day for few hours from Jan. 12 to Jan. 14 between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m.

·         US 75 northbound entrance from Blythe Road to be closed each day for few hours from Jan. 12 to Jan. 14 between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m.

These closures are needed to safely perform the boring activities on the project. Closing the ramps will mitigate the potential for frequent instances of traffic veering off their lane. It will also mitigate the potential for driver confusion. Message boards will be placed ahead of the ramps to alert drivers.

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.
