Motorists driving the westbound Marsha Sharp Freeway (MSF) tomorrow, Nov. 2, can expect delays when traffic is reduced to one-lane, west of Upland Avenue, as the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) continues work on Phase 5B of the freeway.

The daytime lane closure is scheduled to begin at 9 a.m., and will allow crews to safety perform shoulder widening work in preparation for a traffic detour expected to occur in the coming weeks. Motorists should anticipate delays.

All westbound MSF lanes are expected to be open to traffic by 4 p.m. Work will take place weather permitting.

For more information, contact TxDOT Public Information Officer Dianah Ascencio at (806) 748-4472.
