March 8, 2023 - Crews are beginning this week to install a new four-way stop on SH 7 at Loop 500 in Shelby County.
Work will include the installation of the new stop signs and advanced flashing beacons in Center after a traffic study was completed and it was determined that safety would be enhanced with the addition of a four-way stop. The location is currently a two-way stop. The project is expected to be completed in several weeks, weather permitting. Enforcement of the new stop signs will begin once work is completed.
Allstate Signal and Construction, Cypress TX, is serving as contractor for the $899,492.37 construction project that was approved by Texas Transportation Commissioners in August 2022.
Motorists should be aware of workers and equipment at the site. Reduce speed and obey all traffic control as the new stop signs are placed.
