The $18.1 million contract will include pavement repairs, diamond grinding, installation of median cable barrier, and pavement replacement on northbound US 45 from Paradise Drive to County D.
During construction, US 45 will remain open to traffic with exceptions for overnight closures associated with pavement repairs and paving. US 45 will be open in both directions during peak travel hours.
The project will include intermittent and off-peak hour or overnight lane and ramp closures to complete pavement repairs. The project will also include overnight full closure and detour of US 45 to complete asphalt paving and pavement repairs.
Construction is scheduled for completion by December 2021. The schedule is dependent on favorable weather conditions and construction progress.

Will none of that money focus on northbound 45 from hwy 145 to hwy PV (specifically right lane) where most people avoid driving and congest the left lane, slower drivers impeding traffic, parallel with the slower drivers in the right lane? Glad that mess, right lane before Hwy D will finally get fixed.
