U.S. Hwy. 82 expansion in county nearing completion
Construction on the U.S. Highway 82 expansion in Montague County is nearing completion and eastbound traffic was switched Friday to the two newly built Eastbound lanes between Ringgold and Nocona.
The westbound traffic will remain on the current westbound lane. A paving crew will arrive in one to two days to finish the lanes on the westbound side.
The U.S. 82 expansion project from Ringgold to Nocona started in October of 2021. The road is being widened from a two-lane undivided highway to a four-lane divided highway with a large center median. The $48.5 million project is expected to be substantially complete by the first week of July.
Meanwhile, a contract for expanding the next portion of U.S. 82 was let last week. Work is expected to begin this fall. This will widen it from the Montague/Clay County line to Ringgold
