TxDOT has advised the contractor for the SH 199 Lake Worth Bridge Project is scheduled to close the left lane of westbound SH19 9 between Surfside Drive and Rankin Road from Wednesday, July 9 through Friday, July 11, from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. each day (weather permitting) for conduit installation. Westbound SH 199 will be reduced to one lane during these daily closures and motorists should expect delays. Drivers are encouraged to use alternate routes.
Construction on the SH 199 project from FM 1886 to Azle Ave began October 5, 2021. As part of this project, a new bridge over Lake Worth will be constructed. The existing bridge will be kept in service as a frontage road bridge. New SH 199 mainlanes will also be added east of the bridge. Bridges will also be constructed at Rankin Street, Surfside Drive, Love Circle, Hodgkins Road and Azle Avenue while reconstructing and widening SH 199 from four to six lanes west of the Lake Worth crossing. The frontage roads in this area will also be reconstructed. The project was awarded to Sema Construction, Inc. and is estimated for completion in 2024.
