Bells, Texas -- Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) officials today announced that they will close the northbound lane at US 69 overpass bridge and US 82 beginning at 7 a.m. on July 21 and is anticipated to last until the end of August.

Motorists be advised of lane shifts along the construction area. The US 69 center turn lanes will be temporarily removed around the US 69 overpass work areas.

This closure is needed to safely perform the resurfacing of the US 69 overpass at US 82 for phase 2 of construction. Message boards will be placed ahead of the work location to alert drivers.

All closures are subject to being altered due to weather conditions, mechanical issues, or material supply issues.

During this period, TxDOT urges drivers to exercise caution. 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. Motorists should also avoid distractions such as cell phones, eating, drinking, or car audio or navigation systems. TxDOT also asks drivers to remain alert to road crews while navigating through the construction zone.
