Inside lanes on U.S. 183 North to be closed for utility work
Beginning Monday, Jan. 6, portions of U.S. Highway 183 North, aka North Breckenridge Avenue, will be reduced to one lane in each direction while construction crews conduct utility relocation and partial replacement along the highway, according to information from the Texas Department of Transportation.
While the City of Breckenridge’s contractor relocates and partially replaces city sewer lines from Dyer Street to Fourth Street, the inside travel lanes of U.S. 183 N. will be closed. Outside lanes in both directions will remain open to traffic. TxDOT encourages motorists to slow their speed, pay attention to road signs and use caution in areas of construction.
The lane closures could affect travel to and from areas north of Walker Street, including North Elementary, Texas State Technical College, Breckenridge High School and more. According to the Breckenridge school district calendar, Monday is a Professional Development day for staff, and students return to school from the Christmas break on Tuesday, Jan. 7. TSTC classes begin on Jan. 13.
