The Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) will begin a project to modify a portion of FM 3481 in Harker Heights, December 9, 2019.

The project, designed to increase safety on FM 3481, will widen the two-lane roadway with a continuous center-turn lane from FM 2410 to Del Rey Drive and add a new traffic signal at the intersection of FM 3481, Vineyard Trail and Cedar Knob Rd.

The project is being undertaken by Texas Materials Group, Inc., of Cedar Park, at a cost of $3 Million, and is scheduled for completion in the Summer of 2020, weather permitting.

TxDOT advises the traveling public to expect temporary lane closures, delays and some congestion between the hours of 8:30 a.m. and 4 p.m. daily, within the work zone, for the duration of the project.

Motorists are urged to observe all warning signs and exercise caution when passing near construction personnel and equipment in the project area.
