Rock blasting on SR 77 in Dripping Springs to include daytime closure on Nov. 21

Rock blasting work on State Route 77 in the Dripping Springs area will include a 10-hour daytime closure of the highway on Monday, Nov. 21.

The highway will be closed between mileposts 154 and 161 starting at 10 a.m. and remain closed until 8 p.m. During this closure, motorists can use State Route 177 and US 60 to get around the project area.

The highway will be narrowed to one lane with a pilot vehicle controlling traffic from 7 a.m. until 10 a.m. on Monday, Nov. 21, and from 7 a.m. until 5 p.m. on Tuesday, Nov. 22. On Wednesday, Nov. 23, SR 77 will again be narrowed to one lane from 7 a.m. until noon.

No work is scheduled overnight Sunday, Nov. 20.

No night work is scheduled for Monday or Tuesday and the highway will be open to traffic both nights and after noon on Wednesday, the highway will remain open through the Thanksgiving holiday weekend.

Regular nightly closures of SR 77 from 8 p.m. until 2 a.m. and daytime restrictions from 10 a.m. until 8 p.m. will resume after the holiday weekend.

Drivers should proceed through the work zone with caution, slow down and watch for construction equipment and personnel.
