Construction is now underway on a major road project in Texarkana, Texas. <\/p>\n
Transportation officials say the project could take a little over a year to complete. <\/p>\n
With more than 11,000 motorists traveling Moores Lane on a daily basis, TXDOT officials say widening the roadway is much needed. <\/p>\n
Moores Lane is a busy thorough fair with several churches, businesses, a school, nursing homes, and active subdivisions. <\/p>\n
State Farm Insurance Agent, Kelli Ashbrook, says recent stop lights have helped, but it's not solved the traffic issues. <\/p>\n
\"The stops have helped alleviate alot of those problems, and with the turn lane, I think it will help that much more,\" said Ashbrook. <\/p>\n
Construction crews will be working about a mile and a half of Moores Lane from Richmond Road to Summerhill Road. <\/p>\n
Once it's completed, it will be widened with a continuous turning lane. <\/p>\n
TXDOT Engineer Kenny Isenhower says the improvements will make Moores Lane safer for motorists. <\/p>\n
Meanwhile during construction, Texas law requires crews to provide access to driveways at all times. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
