He said that will help traffic flow, especially for semi trucks that pass through.</p><p>“This section of 75 is a heavily traveled corridor, especially with freight traffic, not alone just your regular commuter traffic,” Marr said. “We actually have more freight traffic on our segment of 75 than I-35 does over around Gainesville. This will ease some of that congestion.”</p><p>The project also adds two U-turn bridges on 1417, and a braided ramp just north of it.</p><h2>Part of larger highway project</h2><p>Marr said the segment two project is one more step toward a construction-free Highway 75.</p><p>“They’ve already completed segment 3, which is down the middle of through downtown Sherman,” Marr said. “Currently working on segments four and five. So just one more piece of the puzzle that’s being worked on with Highway 75. Hopefully eventually we’re going to get to that completion where there will be no construction on Highway 75.”</p><p>Barricades go up October 5, weather permitting. TxDOT says drivers should watch for construction signs and slow down in the work zone.</p></div></body>
