Price Road to experience lane closures

BROWNSVILLE, Texas ( ValleyCentral ) — West Price Road will be undergoing construction Tuesday Oct. 15.

The maintenance work is being done by Brownsville’s Engineering and Public Works Traffic Department and will involve a mill and overlay of the road, resulting in temporary lane reductions.

According to the department, this type of maintenance work is standard to the rehabilitation process used to restore and extend the life of roadways.

Roadwork will begin on the westbound lanes of West Price Road, stretching from I-69/U.S. Expressway 77/83 to Central Boulevard, and is expected to last approximately two weeks.

After the westbound lanes are completed, the eastbound lanes, from I-69 to Central Boulevard, will also require lane reductions and are projected to take an additional two weeks.

The entire project is estimated to be complete by Nov. 22.

Drivers are asked to plan ahead and seek alternative routes to avoid traffic congestion.
