Work beginning on bridge near dam

– A pre-construction meeting was held last week, signaling the start of a new construction on a path that connects Polk and San Jacinto County.

Work has begun on FM 3278 to lengthen the Trinity River Bridge on the San Jacinto County line due to channel migration. Additional spans will be added to the bridge.

Hodges and Son Construction Company Inc. of Omaha, Texas, is serving as contractor for the $4.8 million construction project. The work is scheduled to be completed in summer of 2025, weather permitting. Crews placed construction barricades Monday and work is ongoing.

Motorists are urged to stay alert for workers and moving equipment near the lanes of traffic. Obey all traffic control in the area and prepare for delays as this work progresses.
