287 bridge project Phase 2 nears end

Phase Two work on the US 287 bridge between Kearney and Gorst streets is moving quickly with officials expecting Phase Three to start in early January.

TxDOT says the project contractor expects to pour the concrete paving next week, weather permitting. If that goes as planned, all traffic switch to the south side of the bridge sometime early January.

Phase One began in July and was originally anticipated to last through December, but that work wrapped up early and Phase Two started in early November.
