Montgomery County Precinct 3 is set to move forward with plans to enhance mobility on Rayford Road this September.

Matt Beasley, chief of staff for Precinct 3, said the $500,000 project will begin construction in September and is expected to be completed by Dec. 15. The project will be funded by Precinct 3.

The project consists of an additional acceleration lane, which will allow motorists traveling west on Rayford Road to turn onto the I-45 northbound feeder road without stopping and merging onto the main lanes of the feeder.

The project was created to help with the existing bottleneck issue at the intersection, Beasley said.

“This improvement is just the beginning of mobility improvements I intend to implement for Rayford Road,” Precinct 3 Commissioner James Noack said.
