The Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) will begin a project on Monday, Aug. 29 at the intersection of US 287 and SH 207. The project will install a traffic signal and add turn lanes on SH 207.

While work is not expected to impact the traveling public, TxDOT, the City of Claude, and the Armstrong County Sheriff’s office reminds area drivers that this will be an active construction zone and extra attention should be given while driving through this intersection.

The project was approved by the Texas Transportation Commission at their May 2022 regular meeting. Gilvin-Terrill is the contractor on this $2.1 million project, which should be completed by mid-January 2023.

Please drive with caution and reduce speed through all work zones. All projects are subject to change due to weather, emergency work and other unexpected events. For the most up-to-date road conditions, visit www.drivetexas.org.
