BRAZOS COUNTY– Beginning Monday night, May 22, 2023, at 7:00pm, TxDOT’s contractor, Knife River
Corporation, will make some changes to traffic patterns for the Southbound traffic on FM 2818 (Harvey
Mitchell Parkway) between Holleman Drive and Wellborn Road. Once the traffic switch is complete, only
the inside lane will be able to continue south on FM 2818. The outside lane will have to exit to the SB
Wellborn Road via the direct connect ramp. This condition will be in place for about three (3) months and is
necessary to complete the south tie-in to existing pavement.
There will also be some minor work on NB FM 2818 that will require the on ramp from Wellborn Road to be
occasionally closed in the same area.
Since traffic may be stopped during the traffic switch, drivers in both directions are encouraged to find
alternate routes Monday night. Work will be completed before 7am Tuesday morning.
This operation is part of the larger TxDOT FM 2818 (Harvey Mitchell Parkway) project from north of FM 60
(Raymond Stotzer Parkway) to FM 2154 (Wellborn Road), a length of 3.2 miles, for a total cost of $47.6
million. The purpose of this project is to improve safety, enhance capacity and address congestion along
FM 2818 (Harvey Mitchell Parkway) by converting the corridor to a “Super Street” design.
