FM 1053 Update

Body

FM 1053 is still closed between FM 11 and FM 1450 south of Imperial. The plan is to overlay the road on Friday and open the road to traffic Friday afternoon. This is conditional on weather and if everything goes according to plan.

A friendly reminder: It is illegal to drive around barricades. The road is closed for a reason and anyone who chooses to ignore the barricades does so at their own risk. Also, people driving over our work means it has to be redone. That just lengthens the process.
