September 14, 2022 - Work is scheduled to begin in Shelby County this week that will rehabilitate and widen a roadway.
Crews will begin work on FM 1656/Airport Road from SH 7 to FM 699 this week through the next five weeks, weather permitting. The work will include adding an additional 8-inches of limestone to the road base while widening the pavement from the current width of 22-feet to 26-feet.
The work will require traffic control and lane closures. This work is a Shelby County Maintenance project and will require traffic control and alternating lane closures as it progresses in coming weeks. Motorists are urged to stay alert, obey all traffic control in the area and reduce speed near the work zone.
