Beginning Jan. 11, a section of Ford Road will be closed due to railroad work happening near the road’s intersection with Loop 494 in Porter, according to a Jan. 5 social media announcement from Montgomery County Precinct 4 Commissioner Matt Gray's Office.

What's happening?

The total roadway closure of Ford Road will run through Jan. 14, according to the post. Vehicles will need to detour through Needham Road and East Martin Drive instead of using Ford Road.

The road is being closed while the Union Pacific Railroad works on the railway’s tracks, according to the post. Traffic delays are expected due to the construction.
