SHERMAN, Tex. -- Construction at FM 1417 and State Highway 56 will have a major effect on a busy Sherman intersection on Friday. Texas Department of Transportation's contractor, R. K. Hall Construction, LTD. is nearing the phase of the FM 1417/SH 56 contract which will require them to place bridge beams over SH 56.

On Friday, July 25, 2008, traffic will be impacted while the bridge beams are being placed over SH 56. Traffic on FM 1417 will be reduced to one lane. Message boards, signs, and flaggers will be utilized to handle traffic through out the one lane configuration. Traffic on SH 56 will be required to stop east/west movements periodically during this operation to allow the overhead beams to be set onto the bridge foundations.

This operation should take approximately 10 hours to complete. Traffic on FM 1417 and SH 56 will encounter delays between the hours of 7:00 am and 5:00 pm.

Motorists should obey warning signs and flaggers. Motorists are encouraged to avoid this location if at all possible. If this route cannot be avoided, motorists are asked to exercise caution and patience especially during this phase of the construction.
