287 in Hedley to open by Friday

The Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) has announced the expected reopening of US 287 in Hedley by the close of business on Friday, March 27.

Final striping will be completed earlier in the week with the traffic swap to occur at the end of the week.

“Once the new roadway is striped for the final configuration and all main lanes are open to traffic, locals are encouraged to use the new auxiliary lanes for turning movements off US 287 at Bailey and McDougal Streets,” stated Childress District Area Engineer Matt Herbstritt. “While access to Hedley will be restored by Bailey and McDougal Streets, the SH 203 intersection will remain closed until the drainage improvements are finalized at that location.”

“Workers will continue to be present on site over the coming weeks as the contractor finalizes drainage and illumination improvements,” ended Herbstritt.
