Wharton County drivers should prepare for delays and seek alternate routes due to the FM 1161 overpass closure at U.S. 59. The overpass, shut down last week, will remain closed until turnaround work is complete. A temporary 60 mph speed limit is in effect, with law enforcement closely monitoring the area to prevent speeding, which can double traffic fines. Drivers should slow down, stay alert for workers and equipment, and exercise patience to ensure safety as they navigate the construction zone.
