Paris — Here’s a look at work planned in the district for the week starting September 11, 2023. These schedules are subject to change due to weather conditions, equipment failure, or other unforeseen issues. Motorists should remain alert, pay special attention to all signs, barricades, and traffic controls, and reduce their speed as they approach and travel through work zones. They should also avoid distractions like cell phones, eating, drinking, or car audio or navigation systems.

Sherman Area

Fannin, Grayson Counties

Contacts: Sherman Area Office (903) 892-6529; Grayson Co. Maintenance (903) 893-8831; Fannin Co. Maintenance (903) 583-7566.

  • US 75, Grayson County: from FM 1417 to SH 91 (Texoma Parkway). Watch for shoulder closures and lane shifts on the northbound and southbound US 75 main lanes between SH 91 and FM 1417 as crews work on building new main roadways, bridges, and retaining walls. Watch for lane closures between FM 1417 and SH 91 on the frontage roads—a reduced speed limit of 60 mph on the US 75 main lanes for this construction project.
  • Primary lane traffic has been switched from the old main lanes to the existing frontage roads to allow for the construction of the new main highways and bridges between South Travis Street and Center Street. During this operation, northbound US 75 primary lane traffic will shift onto the existing frontage road approximately one-half mile north of South Travis Street and transition back to the existing main lanes at Middleton Street. Southbound US 75 primary lane traffic will shift onto the existing frontage road approximately one-half mile north of Park Avenue and transition back to existing main lanes about one-half mile north of South Travis Street. This operation will allow the reconstruction of the proposed US 75 main lanes and bridges at Post Oak Creek. During this phase, work crews will reduce US 75 frontage road traffic to a single travel lane while US 75 primary lane traffic will maintain two travel lanes. Concrete barriers will separate the main street and frontage road traffic.
  • All eastbound and westbound lanes of Park Avenue under US 75 are closed to traffic. This closure is necessary to allow for the construction of the new overpass at Park Avenue. To detour, eastbound Park Avenue traffic will turn right on the southbound US 75 frontage road, turn left on South Travis Street, and turn left on the northbound US 75 frontage road to return to Park Avenue. Westbound traffic will turn right on the northbound US 75 frontage road, turn left on Center Street, and turn left on the southbound US 75 frontage road to return to Park Avenue.
  • Lamar Street and Houston Street under US 75 are closed to through traffic, with detour signs in place to guide motorists around these intersections. 
  • Eastbound Lamar Street traffic will turn right on the southbound US 75 frontage road, turn left on Center Street, and turn left on the northbound US 75 frontage road to return to eastbound Lamar Street. You can view the video animation of this detour at the following link. https://youtu.be/5LrCpdOA8OQ
  • Westbound Houston Street traffic will turn right on the northbound US 75 frontage road, turn left on Washington Street, and turn left on the southbound US 75 frontage road to return to westbound Houston Street. You can view the video animation of this detour at the following link. https://youtu.be/7jCatnI3Oq4
  • These switches will allow crews to reconstruct the proposed US 75 main lanes and the bridge over Lamar and Houston Streets. Work crews reduced the US 75 northbound frontage road traffic to one travel lane, but two lanes remain for northbound US 75 traffic. A concrete barrier separates the northbound frontage road and primary lane traffic. You can view the video animation of this detour at the following link. https://youtu.be/y_uO0UmpCzk
  • Work crews reduced US 75 frontage road traffic to one travel lane for southbound, but two travel lanes remain for southbound US 75 primary lane traffic. A concrete barrier separates the southbound frontage road and immediate lane traffic. You can view the video animation of this detour at the following link. https://youtu.be/k2EG2W9rFJY
